Does that really need to be the upstream's tarballs ? Why not just automatically generating the orig tarballs and fingerprint *them* (not caring about the upstream's tarball at all) ? If it's about validating the source integrity all along the path from from upstream to deb-src repo, we could do that by auditable process (eg. fully automatic, easily reproducable transformations) --mtx -- Enrico Weigelt, metux IT consult Free software and Linux embedded engineering i...@metux.net -- +49-151-27565287
