Subject: diffoscope: Support the new fork of python-progressbar

Date: Fri, 25 Aug 2017 04:50:48 +0000

Package: diffoscope
Version: 85
Severity: wishlist
Tags: upstream

Dear Maintainer,

While trying to install/use diffoscope from pip (or the Arch Linux
package), I realized that the --progress flag triggers a crash. The
reason as to why this happens is that there are two forks of the
python-progressbar package available, whith slightly different api's.

The one being used by Debian[1] seems to be an abandoned version
(without any updates in two years), whereas there exists a more
actively-developed alternative[2] (possible a takeover). This issue has
also been brought up to the maintainers of python-progressbar, who are
evaluating this upstream change[3]. An arch user suggested a fairly
minimal patch to fix it[4], and there is an more-elaborate descrption of
the API change on the comments of this bug report[5].

It'd be nice if diffoscope was made aware of these versions and possibly
choose the right one depending on which one is available.

Thanks!
-Santiago.
