Stop relying on that. (example: streamtuner) Current stats: Out of the whole debian archive, pristine-gz fails on 132 files, and pristine-tar fails on 0. Success with 98.97% of files. -- Joey Hess Wed, 03 Oct 2007 00:07:54 -0400 pristine-tar (0.2) unstable; urgency=low * Added pristine-gz, thanks to paravoid for making this possible! * Added zgz, which is derived from a BSD gzip program that uses libz. Modified by paravoid to support many options needed to reproduce gz files. * Renamed the subcommands extract => gentar , stash => gendelta * Quite a lot of testing (ie, on the entire Debian archive) and bugfixes. * Put files in the generated tarball mode 0644 pre-delta, this is a much more likely file mode than the previous 0000 and thus makes the delta smaller. * File format version is up to 2.0 due to misc incompatible changes. * Fix a bug related to tar's handling of unicode filenames. * Work around a strange tar behavior: When run with --mode 644, tar preserves the sgid bit on subdirectories. Current stats: Out of the whole debian archive, pristine-gz fails on 131 files, and pristine-tar fails on 45. Success with 98.63% of files. -- Joey Hess Tue, 02 Oct 2007 21:51:03 -0400 pristine-tar (0.1) unstable; urgency=low * First release. -- Joey Hess Sun, 30 Sep 2007 20:06:00 -0400
