I added a bit more explanation in the commit > that removes it. The issue that I see is that the current repo already contains the upstream history there, and IMO, there is not a strong reasons for changing it. Also, IMO, it is useful to have upstream as remote, since it makes it easier to handle (and backport) patches, running things like git blame, and so on, but is a personal position. My *suggestion* is to avoid making that change, but it is you who are adopting the package. > > > > It is to note that I cannot find most of the above changes in git. > > Changes are in the work/3.8.4-1 branch, I created a MR to increase visibility > here > https://salsa.debian.org/debian/libarchive/-/merge_requests/8 > > I made a few changes, managed to get the orig tarball signed and fixed some > (not all) of the (pedantic) lintian warnings. > > Regards, > Gabriel > > ________________________________ > From: Bastien Roucaries > Sent: Thursday, December 18, 2025 2:18 AM > To: Gabriel Barrantes; [email protected]; Santiago Ruano Rincón > Subject: Re: Bug#1123373: RFS: libarchive/3.8.4-1 [ITA] -- FreeBSD > implementations of 'tar' and 'cpio' and other archive tools > > Le mercredi 17 décembre 2025, 02:22:00 heure normale d’Europe centrale > Santiago Ruano Rincón a écrit : > > Hi, > > > > CCing Bastien, that worked on the 3.8.2 version, that was pending to be > > uploaded. > > I believe the way to go is to first upload my version, then put your > improvement on it but answer to santiago answer > > One small step at time is better > > rouca > > > > El 16/12/25 a las 19:54, Gabriel Barrantes escribió: > > > Package: sponsorship-requests > > > Severity: normal > > > > > > Dear mentors, > > > > > > I am looking for a sponsor for my package "libarchive": > > > > > > * Package name : libarchive > > > Version : 3.8.4-1 > > > Upstream contact : Tim Kientzle <[email protected]> > > > * URL : https://www.libarchive.org/ > > > * License : Expat, Apache-2.0 or CC0-1.0 or OpenSSL+SSLeay, > > > BSD-2-clause and Expat, BSD-124-clause-UCB, BSD-2-clause, PD, > > > BSD-2-clause and BSD-1-clause-UCB, BSD-2-clause and BSD-3-clause-UCB, > > > BSD-4-clause-UCB, BSD-2-clause and BSD-124-clause-UCB, Apache-2.0 > > > * Vcs : https://salsa.debian.org/debian/libarchive > > > Section : libs > > > > > > The source builds the following binary packages: > > > > > > libarchive-dev - Multi-format archive and compression library > > > (development files) > > > libarchive13t64 - Multi-format archive and compression library (shared > > > library) > > > libarchive-tools - FreeBSD implementations of 'tar' and 'cpio' and > > > other archive tools > > > > > > To access further information about this package, please visit the > > > following URL: > > > > > > https://mentors.debian.net/package/libarchive/ > > > > > > Alternatively, you can download the package with 'dget' using this > > > command: > > > > > > dget -x > > > https://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/liba/libarchive/libarchive_3.8.4-1.dsc > > > > > > Changes since the last upload: > > > > > > libarchive (3.8.4-1) unstable; urgency=medium > > > . > > > * New upstream release. > > > * Update debian/libarchive13t64.symbols. > > > * Remove upstream-vcs-tag setting from debian/gbp.conf. > > > > Why are your removing the above?
