Included in Debian stable: http://packages.debian.org/stable/pristine-tar To test: tar -xf pristine-tar-1.17-1-src.tar.bz2 ./pristine-tar*.sh --color --verbose all For usage, see: http://kitenet.net/~joey/blog/entry/generating_pristine_tarballs_from_git_repositories/ Jari [ setup.hint ] sdesc: "Regenerate pristine tarballs" ldesc: "Regenerate a pristine upstream tarball using only a small binary delta file and a revision control checkout of the upstream branch. The package also includes a pristine-gz command, which can regenerate a pristine .gz file, and a pristine-bz2 for .bz2 files. The delta file is designed to be checked into revision control along-side the upstream branch, thus allowing Debian packages to be built entirely using sources in revision control, without the need to keep copies of upstream tarballs." category: Devel Perl requires: libgcc1 perl xdelta zlib0
