The upstream tarball for a package I maintain is in .tar.bz2 format. I've been downloading it and recompressing it into .tar.gz format. This seems like a very common situation.
1. Should I still follow the section on "best practices for .orig.tar.gz files" in the Developer's Reference, and include a README.Debian-source file and a get-orig-source target in debian/rules? 2. Should I automate the bunzip2 & gzip in the debian/watch file? (I don't think I can justify asking upstream to publish a more wasteful version of the same bits on his website just to suit Debian.) -- Eric Cooper e c c @ c m u . e d u -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
