(And, so, I get to learn . . .) I've tried another experiment (* in the path matches "28" and "30"): # diffoscope /.zfs/snapshot/2021-04-*-01:40:48-0/bin/sh $<3/>2021-05-03 21:08:48 W: diffoscope.main: Fuzzy-matching is currently disabled as the "tlsh" module is unavailable. $<3/>Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/local/lib/python3.7/site-packages/diffoscope/main.py", line 745, in main sys.exit(run_diffoscope(parsed_args)) File "/usr/local/lib/python3.7/site-packages/diffoscope/main.py", line 677, in run_diffoscope difference = load_diff_from_path(path1) File "/usr/local/lib/python3.7/site-packages/diffoscope/readers/__init__.py", line 31, in load_diff_from_path return load_diff(codecs.getreader("utf-8")(fp), path) File "/usr/local/lib/python3.7/site-packages/diffoscope/readers/__init__.py", line 35, in load_diff return JSONReaderV1().load(fp, path) File "/usr/local/lib/python3.7/site-packages/diffoscope/readers/json.py", line 33, in load raw = json.load(fp) File "/usr/local/lib/python3.7/json/__init__.py", line 293, in load return loads(fp.read(), File "/usr/local/lib/python3.7/codecs.py", line 504, in read newchars, decodedbytes = self.decode(data, self.errors) UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0xb7 in position 18: invalid start byte The two older snapshots of a Boot Environment have bin/sh files that compare equal. But every program I tried the above sort of thing against on got the same UnicodeDecodeError result from diffoscope, byte value and position matching. These snapshots have more than an installworld in them and so are messy to compare overall. But the installworld (and installkernel) content show similar differences to what I reported before as far as example files with differences go. But this is aarch64, not armv7. It will still be notable time before I have simple installworld tree's to compare. === Mark Millard marklmi at yahoo.com ( dsl-only.net went away in early 2018-Mar)Received on Tue May 04 2021 - 02:27:17 UTC
