The first time we encountered a difference in a zipfile metadata, it was hard. We knew from the binary diff from diffoscope that the difference is in the metadata, but it took us some time to notice that the file listings differed by an executable flag. For the Moditect problem I already knew where to look and I noticed that the timestamps from Gary's official artifacts and mine differed by 6 hours. Since the UNIX `unzip` utility does not support the "Extended Timestamp" I used Commons Compress to list all the extensions in the ZIP entries. In general I think that diffoscope could be improved by: * listing all the extensions of ZIP entries explicitly and in order, * adding some basic properties for each file, e.g. "Java class file, bytecode 52" or "Text file, CRLF line endings".
