I've reported this as a bug, but since pristine-tar is unmaintained I don't except any quick fix. I saw this a few months ago and filed https://bugs.debian.org/805488 after a bit of debugging -- it seems like it's specifically the result of uscan / mk-origtargz calling gzip --rsyncable, and pristine-tar not knowing how to handle that. Probably it's the same thing; you can try by manually un-gzipping and redoing with regular gzip. -- Geoffrey Thomas https://ldpreload.com geo...@ldpreload.com

I don't remember seeing it on python-colorama or python-pip (which doesn't mean it didn't happen ;). It was just a warning and didn't seem to affect anything so I ignored it. Maybe I shouldn't have.

Is pristine-tar failing just for me?
Hello, Whenever I use pristine-tar, I'm getting the following warning: | warning: pristine-gz cannot reproduce build of [whatever].orig.tar.gz; storing 85% size diff in delta | (Please consider filing a bug report so the delta size can be improved.) I've reported this as a bug, but since pristine-tar is unmaintained I don't except any quick fix. However, I am wondering: am I the only one who sees this, or do other people here have the same issue? The most recent example is the python-llfuse tarball. It is generated by uscan after filtering out non-DFSG files. Best, -Nikolaus -- GPG encrypted emails preferred.
