# gns-deb-diff
This script is an effort to automate the documentation of the
differences between gNewSense and Debian.
The present list of differences is documented at the
[gNewSense wiki][1]. Look at the [savannah task #12794][2] for more
info.
[1]: http://www.gnewsense.org/Documentation/3/DifferencesWithDebian
[2]: https://savannah.nongnu.org/task/?12794
## Synopsis
$ python gns-deb-diff.py packages-list-file output-table-file local-packages-directory remote-bzr-url
**defaults**
local-packages-directory = "~/gnewsense/packages-parkes"
remote-bzr-url = "bzr://bzr.savannah.gnu.org/gnewsense/packages-parkes"
`packages-list-file`, is a file which contains a list of package names
that differ from Debian. Look at `packages-parkes.list` file for a
sample.
`output-table-file`, is the file to which the script should write the
difference table.
## Description
This is what the script does at present:
+ **S1** The script pulls the latest version of the packages, listed
in the `packages-list-file`, from their respective bzr repos.
+ **S2** For packages which contain the `README.gNewSense` file, a
dict of the form `{'pkg': 'package_name', 'Change-Type':
'Added/Removed/Modified', 'Changed-From-Debian': 'one line
description'}` is generated.
The value for keys `Change-Type` & `Changed-Frome-Debian` is None,
if values for those are not present in the `README.gNewSense`.
+ **S3** The script puts the names of packages, which doesn't contain
`README.gNewSense` file, into a seperate list.
+ **S4** The dicts produced in **S2** is used to generate
MoinMoin marked up table, like
[the one found here][gns-deb-diff-notes].
+ **S5** The generated table is written to the `output-table-file`.
+ **S4** The list of packages which doesn't contain `README.gNewSense`
is barfed out to stdout.

## Notes
At present, not all packages contain a `README.gNewSense` file. It'd
nice, if all packages that were modified/removed/added in gNewSense
have this file.
