Hi, I'm spending a few hours on the packaging of SOLR 1.4 (don't know if I'll succeed) and found a neat feature of git-buildpackage that you may like:
git-import-orig --filter "*.jar" --filter-pristine-tar --pristine-tar \ --upstream-version=1.4.0 ../solr_1.4.0.orig.tar.gz This command imports the upstream tarball into the git branch "upstream", tags the import with the version number, merges the updated upstream into the packaging branch "master" and creates a pristine-tar import to restore the upstream tarball. What is so great, is the --filter options. It filters out all *.jar files from upstream before importing into git and the --filter-pristine-tar makes sure that the same filtering is also applied to the pristine tarball. Therefor the tarball saved with prisitine-tar isn't pristine anymore, but rather repackaged. So the shellscript debian/orig-tar.sh from the solr package which manually removes all *.jar and repackages the upstream tarball isn't necessary anymore.
