Every time you generate an *.orig.tar.gz file from Git (or, for that matter, via any other mechanism), it will be different. The output of tar is not stable. If you want to reproducibly generate the *.orig.tar.gz file from your Git repository, you *have* to use pristine-tar, no matter how the original *.orig.tar.gz file is derived. Otherwise, you will need to store the *.orig.tar.gz files separately or redownload them from Debian when preparing subsequent Debian patch releases, or DAK will not accept your new uploads. -- Russ Allbery ([email protected]) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
