Control: tags -1 pending patch Hi Dimitri,
Although this bug was filed as a wishlist bug, the impact is rather more serious than that. This bug, if unresolved, would eventually cause filename collisions when the next Debian release is archived off, leading to much consternation on the part of mirror operators. To avoid this, I've taken the liberty of uploading an NMU that fixes these problems, by: - bumping the version number to 1.2.4-3.1, which is greater than the last version which was included in Debian before - changing the package to source format 3.0 (quilt), to enable the use of an orig.tar.xz - convert the orig.tar.gz to an orig.tar.xz, to also avoid a filename collision with the old upstream tarball, which does not match the one that you've used for the reintroduced package. The actual package diff for this is quite small; please see attached. Of course, it is also important that you use the orig.tar.xz instead of the orig.tar.gz for future uploads of the package. I am also attaching that for reference, but of course you should be able to grab that from the archive shortly. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
