Package: devscripts Version: 2.14.8 Severity: normal
Hi, I am in the process of packaging jchart2d, a Java library and I need to repack the source tarball. When I download the source tarball, uscan / mk-origtargz fails with the following error message: Command: uscan --verbose --repack --compression xz --force-download Error: jchart2d-eclipse-project-3.2.2.zip does not look like a tar archive or a zip file. at /usr/bin/mk-origtargz line 326 The file can be downloaded from http://sourceforge.net/projects/jchart2d/files/jchart2d/sources/jchart2d-eclipse-project-3.2.2.zip/download Now the file utility tells me that jchart2d-eclipse-project-3.2.2.zip is a Microsoft OOXML file and that is probably the reason why mk-origtargz refuses to repack the tarball. However this format is zipped and unzip is able to unpack it perfectly. I know that upstream should use a sane compression format but I would already be happy if there were a uscan or mk-origtargz option to override this behaviour and tell them to ignore the confusing Microsoft OOXML format and treating it as a zip file.
