Re: Is it okay to download orig source once only?
Yves Arrouye writes (Is it okay to download orig source once only?): ... I propose that we upload once somepackage_release.tar.gz which unpacks to somepackage-release.orig/ and then further uploads would be somepackage_release-deb.diff.gz somepackage_release-deb_arch.deb Would that be okay? Not at the moment, no, because the .tar.gz is the debianised source. However with the new source package format this is possible in principle, though in practice there are a few technical issues with dpkg-source to be sorted out. Ian.

Would it be okay if, when uploading changes to a package, we only upload a .deb and a .diff.gz file? No, it wouldn't be ok. Why don't you just use your account on master to rebuild the source packages? Then you could do basically what you want. Guy
