Hello, I'm packaging the dante server, which I inherited, and the git setup is upstream and debian/ merged, patches un-applied. I want to exclude more files in Files-Excluded in debian/control (but there is no new upstream release). I have extended that list and removed the files from the git repository locally. This change necessitates a bump to the upstream version, no? Is a new version of 1.4.4+dfsg2-1 (it is currently 1.4.4+dfsg-1+b1) acceptable?
Also, when I upload the new version, I will need to upload a new source tar. Can I make it using git archive -- ':(exclude)debian' or is there some reason I must/should use another tool, like uscan? Thanks, Antonio Russo
