Description: Tarball file list comparison tool
 TarDiff is a simple tool that compares the contents of two tarballs
 and reports primarily file list differences found between them.
 .
 It can also list files which only had modified content, but are
 present in both tarballs. It though does not show the actually
 content differences, just which files differ.
 .
 Its use is mainly for release managers who can use it as a QA tool to
 make sure no files have accidentally been left over or were added by
 mistake. TarDiff supports compressed tarballs, diff statistics and
 suppression of GNU autotool changes.
 .
 For more detailed diffs like e.g. finding different timestamps inside
 a tar ball or similar minimal changes which still cause differences
 in hashsums or make a few bytes size difference, please have a look
 at diffoscope or the diffoscope-minimal package. Diffoscope can also
 compare many more file types than just tarballs, but also has more
 hard dependencies and a lot of optional dependencies for specific
 file formats.
