Package: pristine-tar
Version: 0.18
Followup-For: Bug #506627

I've added a built-in-gzip branch to my pristine-tar repository at
git://joshtriplett.org/git/pristine-tar .

This branch incorporates my cut-down version of GNU gzip into zgz, and
uses it to implement the --gnu option.  This also adds support for using
--timestamp and --original-name with --gnu.  Using this support, I
modified pristine-gz to do all of its compression with -c, feeding the
uncompressed file in on standard input and reading the compressed data
from standard output.  This removes the need to give a temporary file
the right original filename and timestamp, and also eliminates the
complexity caused by zgz/gzip removing the uncompressed file after
compressing it.
