Run git-import-orig to try to upgrade the newest tar.gz This of course works if you pass foo_2.6.orig.tar.gz and not the foo-2.6.tar.gz. > => > Cannot symlink '../foo-2.6.tar.gz' to '../foo_2.6.orig.tar.gz': File exists No it shouldn't. We could check if the orig.tar.gz symlink points to the tarball you passed to git-import-orig and stop otherwise. But we shouldn't simply ignore the fact that there's a symlink already. Pristine tar wants to use the orig.tar.gz and if that's different from the tarball you passed things end up badly. welcome. -- Guido -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
