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. -- | _ | Darren Salt, using Debian GNU/Linux (and Android) | ( ) | | X | ASCII Ribbon campaign against HTML e-mail | / \ | http://www.asciiribbon.org/ You will attract cultured and artistic people to your home. ---- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
