Package: pristine-tar Version: 0.18 Severity: wishlist pristine-gz's delta format consists of a gzip-compressed tarball of five files:
- version, containing the format version "2.0" - type, containing "gz" - params, containing the parameters for zgz - filename, containing the original filename, if applicable - timestamp, containing the original timestamp, if applicable Filename and timestamp could just become parameters to zgz, and users of pristine-gz other than pristine-tar may have their own way of handling version and type. Thus, please consider providing a way to have pristine-gz just output the necessary parameters for zgz to generate the gzip file. Given that filename could potentially contain spaces and other metacharacters, It would also help if this output used '\0' to separate parameters rather than a space.
