Package: decopy
Severity: wishlist

It would be great if decopy had a way to analyze diffs and to report on any
changes that need to be made to the debian/copyright file based on that.

This would be useful when e.g. importing new upstream releases, making that
sure that the debian/copyright file stays up to date.

You can just run decopy again after importing a new upstream and it will update your copyright. Reading diffs would just be faster.

Not too long ago I implemented a --changed option to decopy that checks
the files that changed since the last modification of the
debian/changelog file (or whatever is specified in the --since ID
parameter), this requires the packaging to be in git, which is a common
practice nowadays. Hope that covers your use case.

Happy hacking,
