No, and according to the manpage it is intentional: > Metadata of archive members remain un-excluded. I could get the results I want by unpacking the tarballs on two dirs and then using this option, though, so thanks for suggesting it! It would still be nice if diffoscope provided this option natively. -- Saludos, Felipe Sateler

Package: diffoscope Version: 99 Severity: wishlist Tags: upstream Hi, diffoscope has been a very useful tool for me, in comparing dumps of various sorts spit out by several systems. It would be great to have an option to ignore timestamps, in order to be able to check if two tarballs/zipballs/whateverballs have the same contents, even if the contents were generated on different dates.
