Yes, not being able to write to the group's repository is the reason why I had it in collab-maint. For the moment, it is still at the same address [0], but it will be moved as soon as I get write access to the repository.

Yes, I did: with bzip2, we get, for https-everywhere, a package that is 10% smaller than with gzip, which, for compression algorithms, is quite a good amount. I would have used xz instead of bzip2, though, as xz-utils is "Priority: required", but people would find that to be too aggressive. :-) Regarding one point that Axel mentioned about using pristine-tar, unfortunately, the tor project only seems to release xpi files, which are actually zip files, but pristine-tar only supports gzip or bzip2 compressed tar files. I agree that for traceability (if that's even a word) would be better if we could have bit-identical tarballs, but that's not an option, unless we: * ask upstream to produce tar.{gz,bz2} tarballs * grab our tarballs from https://gitweb.torproject.org/https-everywhere.git, but, AFAIK, we loose the automation of checks with uscan and with uupdate > No other comments. Except for the URLs of the repositories, I would have > uploaded it right now! :) Great. I hope that what I produced is not to be ashamed of. :-) Please, let me know if you would like to have the package as a .dsc combo.
