Create a symlink foo_x.y.z.orig.tar.gz to foo-y.y.z.tgz. This is valid (and btw also, what uscan would do - so write a watch file :)). > internal structure: foo\... The build-tools unpack the sources to a temporary directory and rename it to foo-x.y.z/. No problems up to here and no need to touch/repack the orig-tarball :) Regards, Daniel -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
