I checked with --no-download --no-signature ... it seems to work now :-)

$ rm example_1.0+ds1.orig.tar.gz
$ uscan --repack example-1.0
$ uscan --force-download --repack example-1.0

No. This does not work because uscan stops when it finds example-1.0.tar.gz

Yes, I agree with you. But how to do --repack?

Using mk-origtargz directly makes more possible errors. The intent is to
test how does uscan do mk-origtargz. If the user makes a guess, then
it could be wrong, and it is more work to do anyways. The uscan should
make this easy to verify.

Both --no-download and --force-download I think should test repack,
signature check, ...

I will test when changes are ready.

Thank you.

Hi,

It took me a little bit of effort to understand your wish.

If we invoke uscan without using --no-symlink, uscan always call
mk-origtargz with --symlink option.  If mk-origtargz finds files
matching Files-Excluded, mk-origtargz behaves as --copy (See its
manlage).

If the repack without having a matiching Files-Excluded is objective to
see if repacksuffix works or not, just use --repack as the argument of
uscan, it passes it to mk-origtarg.

There is no need to option such as --force-repack as I see this
situation.

Since you still have example-1.0.tar.gz, uscan stop there and do
nothing

 ^^

I see.  

I think we do not need any new command.  Use mk-origtargz directly if
you wish to do test as you described.

But I also understand, the current state of uscan is not optimal.
--no-download option should enable your wish to test repack, signature

Bug#801165: devscripts: [uscan] Option --force-repack helpful for testing Files-Excluded and repacksuffix

[Eric Shattow]

Package: devscripts
Version: 2.15.3
Severity: wishlist

Dear Maintainer,

uscan --force-repack would be helpful for testing Files-Excluded and
repacksuffix.

The way to test an repacksuffix=ds1 containing debian/watch for example-1.0/
is:

rm example*tar.gz
uscan --force-download example-1.0

This gives us example-1.0.tar.gz and example_1.0+ds1.orig.tar.gz

rm example_1.0+ds1.orig.tar.gz
uscan --force-download example-1.0

What happens now that example_1.0+ds1.orig.tar.gz is missing?

We have to delete example-1.0.tar.gz or there's no easy way to force the
repack. This is not good if the example-1.0.tar.gz is large or we want to test
this function offline.
