Package: xmldiff-xmlrev
Version: 0.6.6-1
Severity: normal
Hello,
The program description says this problem will compare XML files.
However, namespaces are a standard part of XML files, and xmlrev seems to
complain loudly if it sees an valid XML file with ':' in the name of an
element.
For example:
--- cut ---
[636] [snoopy:bam] /tmp >cat test.dtd
<!ELEMENT t:test (t:subelement)>
<!ATTLIST t:test
xmlns:t CDATA #FIXED "http://test/test";
>
<!ELEMENT t:subelement EMPTY>
[637] [snoopy:bam] /tmp >cat test.xml
<!DOCTYPE t:test SYSTEM "test.dtd">
<t:test xmlns:t="http://test/test";>
<t:subelement/>
</t:test>
[638] [snoopy:bam] /tmp >xmllint --valid test.xml
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE t:test SYSTEM "test.dtd">
<t:test xmlns:t="http://test/test";>
<t:subelement/>
</t:test>
[639] [snoopy:bam] /tmp >xmlrev --diff test.xml test.xml

/tmp/xmlrev.dest.3A1ErK:1:0: syntax error
--- cut ---
It looks like it might be treating it as a SGML file because of the
DOCTYPE declaration (I believe this is a valid XML DOCTYPE declaration),
however, this problem occurs even if I comment it out:
--- cut ---
[642] [snoopy:bam] /tmp >cat test.xml
<!-- <!DOCTYPE t:test SYSTEM "test.dtd"> -->
<t:test xmlns:t="http://test/test";>
<t:subelement/>

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!-- <!DOCTYPE t:test SYSTEM "test.dtd"> -->
<t:test xmlns:t="http://test/test";>
<t:subelement/>
</t:test>

If I completely delete the DOCTYPE declaration, it works:
--- cut ---
[646] [snoopy:bam] /tmp >cat test.xml
<t:test xmlns:t="http://test/test";>
<t:subelement/>
</t:test>
[647] [snoopy:bam] /tmp >xmllint test.xml
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<t:test xmlns:t="http://test/test";>
<t:subelement/>
</t:test>
[648] [snoopy:bam] /tmp >xmlrev --diff test.xml test.xml
