Hi, I wish debdiff would support showing the differences between a .dsc file and an unpacked source package. For example, if I've downloaded a source package and made some changes to the unpacked copy, I wish that debdiff totem-pl-parser_2.28.1-1.dsc totem-pl-parser-2.28.1 would show the differences that I made.
Hi Matt Kraai I have prepared a new script for devscript[1] that can (also) diff a dsc against an unpacked source folder. However, it only diffs the debian part of the two sources (excluding *.debs and orig.tars), so I am not sure it does everything you want. You can download it from [2], while it waits for a review. ~Niels [1] see #575395 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=575395 [2] Script: http://www.student.dtu.dk/~s072425/debian/qdebdiff Doc: http://www.student.dtu.dk/~s072425/debian/qdebdiff.html

Hi Niels, Thanks for preparing the patch and letting me know about it. It seems like it will be useful functionality.
