Update: back on the machine I use to hack on this package, history shows that I ran git-buildpackage --pristine-tar --git-verbose --git-ignore-new to generate my tar.bz2. I do not remember where I found the --pristine-tar option, it is not documented. Anyway it generates the exact same tarball as 'git archive' above. I just removed .bak files from 'upstream', and pushed 'master', 'upstream' and 'pristine-tar' branches on Alioth. As an alternative, you may now generate a tar.bz2 by running pristine-tar checkout ../opencascade_6.5.0.dfsg.orig.tar.bz2 My new one contains 40389652 bytes and: $ md5sum opencascade_6.5.0.dfsg.orig.tar.bz2 537699c4d4018c118dd1ca306bdd9861 opencascade_6.5.0.dfsg.orig.tar.bz2 Denis -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
