Description: Tarball file list comparison tool
TarDiff is a simple tool that compares the contents of two tarballs
and reports primarily file list differences found between them.
.
It can also list files which only had modified content, but are
present in both tarballs. It though does not show the actually
content differences, just which files differ.
.
Its use is mainly for release managers who can use it as a QA tool to
make sure no files have accidentally been left over or were added by
mistake. TarDiff supports compressed tarballs, diff statistics and
suppression of GNU autotool changes.
.
For more detailed diffs like e.g. finding different timestamps inside
a tar ball or similar minimal changes which still cause differences
in hashsums or make a few bytes size difference, please have a look
at diffoscope or the diffoscope-minimal package. Diffoscope can also
compare many more file types than just tarballs, but also has more
hard dependencies and a lot of optional dependencies for specific
file formats.
