Diffcol ToDo

[ak19]

• investigate why images are different sizes between the linux-generated image collection and the test collection built on darwin or windows

• investigate the cause of the difference in file sizes for index/idx folder, between linux and windows

• GS3 diffcol testing

• DEC testing with diffcol

Also GS3 variant

• src component testing with diffcol

need DEC generated for GS3 as well

Then have GS3 variant of DEC testing

• diffcol-caveat and diffcol-stable

Also GS3 variant

• diffcol with isntaller version of binary (install in text-only mode)

[ak19]

• Diffcol needs to handle jdbm and other database types

[ak19]

• image diffing might need to be a separate diffing process, like gdbdiff. If we find that images generated on windows vs mac vs linux are fundamentally different, instead of different because they use different imagemagick conversion defaults owing to different a imagemagick binary being used on windows, the new Imagediff process might normalise images by converting them to a basic image format like .ppm files which are c code that simply contain an array of image values.
