Yes, but we normally use "git-import-orig --pristine-tar" right? > Source packages are trivially generated using: > git-buildpackage -S -us -uc But that doesn't generate the exact same orig.tar.bz2 as it's provided by Sage. You don't have to use pristine-tar if you don't want. If you want to keep it like this for now, consider using pristine-tar when you import the next release of this package. > >> Also, where did you find the information >> that it's GPL-2+?
