Package: pristine-tar
Version: 1.18

pristine-tar succeeds on xine-lib-1.2_1.2.0.orig.tar.xz but fails on
xine-lib-1.2.1.tar.xz (fresh upstream release). The reason for the failure is
as follows:

From 1.2.0's top-level Makefile.in:

dist-xz: distdir
  tardir=$(distdir) && $(am__tar) | xz -c >$(distdir).tar.xz
  $(am__remove_distdir)

This defaults to compression preset no. 6.

From 1.2.1's top-level Makefile.in:

dist-xz: distdir
  tardir=$(distdir) && $(am__tar) | XZ_OPT=$${XZ_OPT--e} xz -c 
>$(distdir).tar.xz
  $(am__remove_distdir)

This defaults to compression preset no. 6 – but it is modified with -e
(--extreme), which isn't currently handled by pristine-xz.

The difference is due to a change in automake between 1.11.1 and 1.11.2.

It is sufficient to add '6e' to $possible_levels in readxz in pristine-xz. It
may well be worth trying 6e before 6 due to this change in automake.
