diffoscope 136 source package in Ubuntu

Changelog

diffoscope (136) unstable; urgency=medium

  [ Chris Lamb ]
  * Improvements:
    - Support external build tools. (Closes: reproducible-builds/diffoscope#87)
    - Fallback to the regular .zip container format for .apk files if apktool
      is not available.
    - Clarify that "install X" in difference comment messages actually refer to
      a system/distribution package.
    - Drop the --max-report-size-child and --max-diff-block-lines-parent
      options; both deprecated and scheduled for removal in January 2018.

  * Bug fixes:
    - No longer raise a KeyError exception if we request an invalid member from a
      directory container.

  * Logging improvements:
    - Log a debug-level message if we cannot open a file as container due to a
      missing tool in order to assist diagnosing issues.
    - If we don't know the HTML output name, don't emit an enigmatic "html
      output for" message.
    - Add the current PATH environment variable to the "Normalising locale..."
      debug-level message.
    - Print the "Starting diffoscope $VERSION" line as the first line.
    - Correct a debug-level message for compare_meta calls to quote the
      arguments correctly.

  * Refactoring:
    - Add support for alternative container types for a file, allowing for
      runtime (vs import time) control of fallbacks such as adding comments.
      and append a comment to a difference if we fallback to an inferior
      container format due to missing a tool.
    - Factor-out the generation of "foo not available in path" difference
      comment messages as a helper method in the exception that represents
      them.

  * Code improvements:
    - Tidy diffoscope.main's configure method, factoring out the set of the
      Config() global out of the run_diffoscope method and inlining the
      functionality of maybe_set_limit, etc.
    - Rename diffoscope.locale module to diffoscope.environ as we are modifying
      things beyond just the locale (eg. calling tzset(), etc.)
    - Drop unused "Difference" import from the APK comparator.
    - Drop an assertion that is guaranteed by parallel "if" conditional.
    - Add a "noqa" line to avoid a false-positive flake8 "unused import" warning.
    - Turn down the "volume" for a recommendation in a comment.

  * Release/source-code management:
    - Add a .git-blame-ignore-revs file to improve the output of git-blame(1) by
      ignoring large changes when introducing the Black source code reformatter
      and update the CONTRIBUTING.md guide on how to optionally use it locally.
    - Convert CONTRIBUTING.rst to CONTRIBUTING.md and include it in the
      PyPI.org release.

  * Test improvements
    - Refresh and update the fixtures for the .ico tests to match the latest
      version of Imagemagick in Debian unstable.

  [ Holger Levsen ]
  * Bump Standards Version to 4.5.0, no changes needed.

  [ Marc Herbert ]
  * Search for expected keywords in the output of cbfstool tests and not a
    specific output. (Closes: reproducible-builds/diffoscope!42)
