Yes. > That seems like a bad situation to be in. Can we please revert either > the recent dpkg-source -b change or the older dak change? This should be allowed in dak, I guess I just forgot to notify ftp-masters, or had forgotten there was this restriction in place. The timeline for upstream tarball signatures support in dpkg is: - extracting implemented for source >= 2.x in 1.17.20 - extracting implemented for source == 1.x in 1.18.5 - building implemented for source >= 1.x in 1.18.5 - building disabled for source == 1.x in 1.18.8 (due to stable not supporting its extraction) - building reenabled for source == 1.x in 1.19.0 Thanks, Guillem
