Subject: strip-nondeterminism: Only print log messages by default if a file has been modified

Date: Sat, 20 May 2017 14:05:20 +0100

Package: strip-nondeterminism
Version: 0.033-2
Severity: normal

Hi,

Currently strip-nondeterminism emits log messages at the non-verbose
debhelper level even if we did not modify the file:

    Normalizing debian/giftrans/usr/share/man/man1/giftrans.1.gz
    Normalizing debian/giftrans/usr/share/doc/giftrans/changelog.Debian.gz

This is not only noisy in-of itself (!) and somewhat misleading, it also
defeats the point of adding these particular log messages in the first place;
we should only be printing if we modified the file so we can start to remove
normalizers from strip-nondeterminism.


Regards,

thus raising the severity of this bug, as this has a major impact without
making it unusable for everyone.

   * Only print log messages by default if the file was actually modified
     rather than if we merely identified a file (see 0.033-1). This was not
     only noisy in-of itself and somewhat misleading, it moreover defeated the
     point of adding these log messages in the first place - ie. identifying
     normalizers we can start to remove from strip-nondeterminism.
