I'm @eighthave on salsa. We're still stuck on this. We regularly have to manually do APK comparisons because we cannot force diffoscope to treat files as APKs, and it is misdetecting. I posted on https://salsa.debian.org/reproducible-builds/diffoscope/issues/28 but the only response was to retitle the issue to go back to detection. I really don't think it will be possible to fix this issue something like file magin auto-detection. An APK can be a working APK, JAR, DEX, and ZIP all at the same time. Using file extensions could work.
Here's a commonly occuring example: https://verification.f-droid.org/eu.faircode.email_914.apk.diffoscope.html Here is a user who was blocked from using diffoscope due to this issue: https://forum.f-droid.org/t/help-wanted-how-to-create-a-reproducible-build-fairemail/8860/11 _______________________________________________ Reproducible-builds mailing list Reproducible-builds@alioth-lists.debian.net https://alioth-lists.debian.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/reproducible-builds
