Package: devscripts Version: 2.14.5 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
* What led up to the situation? I plan to package a mozilla addon; following xpi-repack(1) (from mozilla-devscripts), here is my debian/watch file: ---------8<--------- quidame@sid:/tmp/profileswitcher$ cat debian/watch version=3 https://freeshell.de/~kaosmos/profileswitcher-([\d\.]+)-tb\+fx\.xpi debian xpi-repack --------->8--------- This works fine in wheezy; but when I run uscan in a fresh sid environment, I get the following results: ---------8<--------- quidame@sid:/tmp/profileswitcher$ uscan --verbose -- Scanning for watchfiles in . -- Found watchfile in ./debian -- In debian/watch, processing watchfile line: https://freeshell.de/~kaosmos/profileswitcher-([\d\.]+)-tb\+fx\.xpi debian xpi-repack -- Found the following matching hrefs: profileswitcher-1.6.2-tb+fx.xpi (1.6.2) Newest version on remote site is 1.6.2, local version is 1.6.1 => Newer version available from https://freeshell.de/~kaosmos/profileswitcher-1.6.2-tb+fx.xpi -- Downloading updated package profileswitcher-1.6.2-tb+fx.xpi -- Checking for common possible upstream OpenPGP signatures -- Successfully downloaded updated package profileswitcher-1.6.2-tb+fx.xpi -- Successfully repacked ../profileswitcher-1.6.2-tb+fx.xpi as ../profileswitcher_1.6.2.orig.tar.gz. -- Executing user specified script xpi-repack --upstream-version 1.6.2 ../profileswitcher_1.6.2.orig.tar.gz Unpacking ../profileswitcher_1.6.2.orig.tar.gz [../profileswitcher_1.6.2.orig.tar.gz] End-of-central-directory signature not found.

Removing "debian xpi-repack" from the watch file does not help very much, because the mk-origtargz handles the xpi file very poorly: in this case case, it contains an unpacked .jar file and the source tree is at the root of the archive, not in a main directory (in this case, it should be 'profileswitcher-1.6.2'). XPI means "Cross Platform Installer"; it is an extension for zip archives. Since mk-origtargz uses file's mime detection to detect zip files [1], it handles xpi files instead of falling into error. But the source archive it creates is wrong. * What was the outcome of this action? I have to run xpi-repack manually, with the proper arguments. * What outcome did you expect instead? I think mk-origtargz should skip xpi files without error, as it was the case in wheezy (devscripts version 2.12.6+deb7u2); or uscan could also have a --no-repack switch, or the repack action should not be performed if the --repack option is not explicitly specified.
