Subject: diffoscope: Please improve names of "internal" binwalk members

Date: Mon, 02 Oct 2017 15:55:04 +0100

Package: diffoscope
Version: 87
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

When analysing the results of concatentated CPIO archives (added
in #820631) the displayed names appear as: "$offset.cpio", eg.
0.cpio and 6200.cpio, kinda "leaking" how diffoscope interacts
with binwalk, but moreover this can a little misleading or confusing.

See, for example:

  https://labs.riseup.net/code/issues/12735#change-76243

I believe we should be a bit more detailed about what these internal
members are, at least mentioning the word "offset" somewhere.


Best wishes,
