through trial-and-error I found out that the orig.tar.gz on mentors.d.n for connman version 1.28 was probably generated by doing: git archive --prefix=connman-1.28/ 1.28 | gzip -n9 > ../connman_1.28.orig.tar.gz at least the checksum of the above matches with your last upload to mentors. After investigating upstream's tarball it seems to indeed make more sense to generate the Debian tarball from git because upstream deletes some files from their tarball while at the same time populating it with automatically generated autofoo stuff which will be generated in Debian at build time anyways. But to make clear where the upstream tarball comes from, maybe you should leave a note in README.Source and maybe also add a get-orig-source target to d/rules which uses `git archive` to create the tarball of the right version. Thanks! cheers, josch
