--- Begin Message ---Package: devscripts Version: 2.16.8 I am working on packaging mozjs38, a requirement for gnome-shell 3.24. mozjs is the JavaScript engine of Firefox. The only official "release" tarball was 38.2. Fedora has instead used the regular Firefox 38.8 ESR tarball (so that 8 months of security and other bugfixes are included). The Firefox tarball works but contains a lot of unused files. Working with such a massive tarball is painful and unnecessary in the case so I looked to using uscan with Files-Excluded in debian/copyright. However, mk-origtargz is apparently not designed to handle this level of pruning. Test Case -------------- Clone this repo: https://anonscm.debian.org/git/users/jbicha-guest/mk-origtargz-test cd mk-origtargz-test uscan -dd --verbose Result --------- uscan info: Executing internal command: mk-origtargz --package mozjs38 --version 38.8.0 --compression gzip --directory ../tarballs --copyright-file debian/copyright ../tarballs/firefox-38.8.0esr.source.tar.bz2 Can't exec "tar": Argument list too long at /usr/share/perl5/Dpkg/IPC.pm line 308. More Info ------------- I was able to trigger this failures with just 4 lines in Files-Excluded (but those directories contain thousands of files) Files-Excluded: browser dom media security I am reporting this from Ubuntu zesty which uses 2.16.8ubuntu1, but the changelog doesn't look like anything relevant has changed in the current sid version. Thanks, Jeremy Bicha
