I think that git-deborig and pristine-tar are orthogonal -- pristine-tar is when you care about having the tarball with precisely the same checksum, whereas git-deborig is for when it's git tags that are authoritative. origtargz is "a tarball has been settled on for this upload, get it for me please." pristine-tar is one way of settling on that tarball. git-deborig is "my git tree is right, please give me a tarball because the Debian archive works that way." > Now I know that it is, apparently, the Debian way to have > difficult-to-use primary functionality with a plethora of competing > wrapper scripts, sometimes even competing wrapper scripts within the > same package (devscripts, in this case). > > But could we at least have a few cross references in the manpages ? I think you probably want to file a bug against devscripts, too, in that case. > I notice that there is also a program `mk-origtargz'. Is that > different from `origtargz' ? Yes. devscripts has good manpages. -- Sean Whitton
