Package: devscripts Version: 2.21.7 Severity: normal For the linux source package, debian/watch currently refers to tarballs. But there are no signed tarballs available for release candidates. To fix this, we could use mode=git, like so:
version=3 opts="mode=git, gitmode-shallow, pgpmode=gittag, uversionmangle=s|-rc|~rc|" \ https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git refs/tags/v(.*) debian There are also several files in the upstream source that we consider non-free, so in any case the upstream source needs to be repacked. The current behaviour of uscan in this configuration is: 1. Create a shallow, bare, git repository 2. Export an uncompressed tarball from git 3. Compress the first tarball with xz 4. Unpack the first compressed tarball 5. Delete the excluded files 6. Create a second compressed tarball The size of the uncompressed source is over 1 GB, and it's being compressed twice with xz, so this process takes a long time - nearly 20 minutes on my laptop. Step 3 seems to be totally unnecessary in this case, and I would like uscan to skip it if it is going to repack the tarball.
