Package: pristine-tar
Severity: important
Hi,
a member did some investigation why pristine-tar is failing with some
quite large upstream tarball. The full analysis can be seen here:
https://lists.debian.org/debian-med/2014/02/msg00021.html
It boils down that xdelta has a restriction which makes it incapable to
deal with files > 2GB which is a known issue (#205112, may be same issue
as #145370) which never got any response. According to Luis' analysis
the issue is solved in xdelta3.
I have no idea why more packages in Debian rdepend from the outdated
xdelta than from xdelta3 but to me it seems to be advisable to either
deprecate xdelta usage or fix the 2GB issue. Since the later does not
seem to be the case I'd suggest to upgrading to xdelta3 or if possible
enable an option to alternatively use xdelta3 when dealing with large
archives.
Kind regards and thanks for maintaining pristine-tar
Andreas.

[ Antonio Terceiro ]
* Add `pristine-tar verify` to the usage message
* pristine-tar.spec: RPM packaging improvements to make pristine-tar easily
buildable in openSUSE, Fedora and CentOS. Patch by Markus Lehtonen
(Closes: #807597)
* Add bash completion script
- I had this local bash completing script laying around in my $HOME for
years, but I have no idea whether I wrote it or if I got it from the
internet. If you wrote it, please get in touch with me so that I can
add the proper credits to the source code.
* autopkgtest: run all tests with both PRISTINE_ALL_XDELTA=xdelta and
PRISTINE_ALL_XDELTA=xdelta3.
.
[ Tomasz Buchert ]
* pristine-tar is now able to reproduce xz files compressed with
multithreading; however, this requires xz >= 5.2.0 (Closes: #829248)
* Minor bugfixes (Closes: #798641)
* Add support for using xdelta3 (Closes: #737499)
