Having a look at some packages of mine, some suggestions: - Please blacklist .pdf at least, timestamps stuff and so on are likely to be at fault here. - You could eventually no longer take the order of entries in shlibs file into account. I'm not sure this order matters anyway. - Harder, but you could try and ignore hunks where only a line changed, which contains “Generated on $date”, that's likely to be doxygen or a friend of its. Maybe ignoring .html files would do? There's also docbook-to-man. - I didn't check your script but I guess it might be enhanced WRT file type detection, see for example synfigstudio log in debcmp/. I really suggest you postprocess your logs for the shlibs problem, it would make it trivial to spot actual problem, also preventing from missing some, hidden in an order modification. > Or maybe someone has an NM, and doesn't know what he should do for > T&S? ;) Not yet, already passed, too late. :p -- Cyril Brulebois
