Subject: RFP: container-diff -- Diff Docker containers

Date: Tue, 26 Nov 2019 13:00:01 +0000

Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: lamby@debian.org
X-Debbugs-CC: debian-devel@lists.debian.org

* Package name    : container-diff
* URL             : https://github.com/GoogleContainerTools/container-diff
* License         : Apache-2.0
  Programming Lang: Go
  Description     : Diff Docker containers
  
From upstream's website:

    container-diff is a tool for analyzing and comparing container
    images.  It can examine images along several different criteria
    including:

     * Docker Image History
     * Image file system
     * Image size
     * APT packages
     * RPM packages
     * pip packages
     * npm packages
	
    These analyses can be performed on a single image, or a diff can
    be performed on two images to compare. The tool can help users
    better understand what is changing inside their images, and give
    them a better look at what their images contain.

This RFP was prompted by the following wishlist request against
diffoscope:

  https://salsa.debian.org/reproducible-builds/diffoscope/issues/39

Glad to know someone needs it :)
I had started working on it some days ago. And it needs a couple of
packages to be in Debian first, namely:
      github.com/google/go-containerregistry
        code.cloudfoundry.org/bytefmt

That said, I'm working on it; shall take a couple of days but I hope to
get there eventually :)


Best,
Utkarsh

I recently merged this bug with 930385 and reached out to to the old
owner as they have created the source on salsa.d.o but seemed to have
stopped there. Please let me know if I can be of assistance in getting
container-diff packaged up :)

Well, I am having a bit of a difficulty to package bytefmt.
I reported this issue with dh-make-golang here[1].

It'd be really helpful if you can help me get that packaged somehow?
I'd be interested in maintaining bytefmt further for container-diff
though :)

Apparently I started to look into containerdiff and bytefmt some longer
time ago. I have some old packaging based on an older snapshot around.
I just pushed it, but this is very very basic, but this snapshot still
builds here
git clone https://git.sven.stormbind.net/bytefmt.git

Not sure if that helps, will try to bring it up to a new snapshot.

Many, many thanks for this!
I'll polish this further and upload it at the earliest!

D'you intend to maintain it, as well? :D
Or shall I take it from here?

I also updated it by now to a new snapshot, so the repo now has
the latest code.

Feel free to take it, the git log is horrible, even without
a proper name and mail set. So I don't even mind if you just
copy the debian subdir or something like that. I usually license
my contributions under the license used by the upstream project.

That beeing said, I would really like to contribute more to
Debian again, but I failed to do so for the past two years. So
don't count on me. If you form a team or add container-diff to
an existing team I would join (hoexter@d.o) and try to free some
hours at work to help a bit. If required I can also help to
sponsor uploads, though my go packaging experience is very small.

I really appreciate you put some time into packaging container-diff. :)

Perfect, thank you! :D

I'd generate a new git repository from the .dsc at some point (since I
can't see other two branches here).
But many thanks for your work!

Me too. I'll add my name next to yours (that alternatively means, you're
one of its maintainer, too).

Many thanks, again! Shall contact you :)

I'm a DD, too :D
Thanks, anyway! \o/

Likewise! :D

I have figured out the bug in dh-make-golang that was preventing 
creating the bytefmt package. Now I just need to figure out how to 
submit this patch given the wide range of options - GitHub, Salsa, 
bugs.d.o  :)

I know that Sven has done some initial manual work to get bytefmt 
started, but he noted it may be a bit outdated. If you like, we can get 
dh-make-golang fixed and attempt to bring in bytfmt using dh-make-golang.

James

I believe I must have figured out some way to auto generate that package
with dh-make-go. Looking at the files in debian/ I don't think I copy&pasted
that manually. But really, feel free to start from scratch with current standards
et al.

All I remember is that I stopped at some point because a module was hosted in
a mercurial repo and that was somewhat painful to deal with.

Aha, that's perfect! Perhaps, you can raise a pull request on GitHub?

Well, he updated the snapshot which now reflects the latest upstream
changes.
FWIW, I am almost ready to upload that package now.
But if you want to have this done with dh-make-golang, I sure can wait :)
But I wouldn't want to waste Sven's effort (which is pretty neat!). We
can copy the contents of the debian/* anyway?

That said, I'm pretty flexible with anyway you'd want to proceed with!
Also, would you like to maintain it, too? :D

That's great! If Sven has the latest snapshot and you're just about
ready to upload, who am I to stand in the way of the work you two have
done. This is merely a blocker for the _real_ win, container-diff and
you two have turned it around in remarkable time :)

Oh yay! I hope this fixes it now :D

Haha, thanks to you as well!
Whilst I checked it's almost ready, I feel I should upload this for now.
However, let's do other two packages together from scratch via
dh-make-golang? :D

Most certainly!
Whilst "mentor" isn't the right word, I definitely can "help" you
understand the packaging workflow.
I'll add you as a maintainer for bytefmt as well.
Also, how about you take the next package, that is,
https://github.com/google/go-containerregistry, and do it from scratch? :D
Let's move to one-to-one mails for the same!

Once again, many thanks for your work! :D
