DebDiff task

A task to compute the differences between two source or binary Debian packages using the debdiff utility.

The task_data associated to this task can contain the following keys:

• input (required): a dictionary describing the input data

  • source_artifacts (optional): a list with two elements. Each of type (Single lookup): source artifact pointing to a source package.

  • binary_artifacts: (optional): a list with two elements. Each of type (Multiple lookup): binary artifact pointing to binary packages.

Note

Note that exactly one of source_artifacts or binary_artifacts is required.

• extra_flags (optional): a list of flags to be passed to the debdiff command, such as --nocontrol or --diffstat. If an unsupported flag is passed then the request will fail.

The debdiff output will be provided as a new artifact of category debian:debdiff, described in the artifacts reference.

The task returns success if debdiff returns an exit code of 0 or 1, and failure otherwise.
