tags 388567 moreinfo thanks Hello,
In svn-buildpackage's bug 388567 there was a request for bz2 support. In version 0.6.16 svn-inject is able to repackage upstream orig tarballs from tar.bz2 to tar.gz. Stefano has reopened this bug claiming that there should be support for a tar.bz2 orig tarball (e.g. foo_1.2.orig.tar.bz2 should be a valid orig tarball for foo 1.2-3). I agree that it would be useful to support a different format than tar.gz for the orig tarball, but I am not sure if this is supported in any way by dpkg, thus making this an exercise in futility. I have checked the current lenny and sid archive and I haven't found any .orig.tar.bz2 source packages in the official archive. So I am asking, does dpkg even support this? [1] Does dpkg supports this, but dak doesn't?[2] [1] please don't confuse tar.bz2 orig tarballs with debs which have the data component compressed with bz2, i.e. the deb is an ar achive containing "debian-binary", "control.tar.gz" and "data.tar.bz2" [2] that would be a good reason why I didn't find any such package in the archive -- Regards, EddyP ============================================= "Imagination is more important than knowledge" A.Einstein
