It's been my understanding that this is exactly one of the main uses of the "command" argument in debian/watch. See docker.io's debian/watch[1] for example, where "/bin/sh debian/repack.sh" is what does the DFSG-compliance repacking of the orig tarball so that they're cleanly repeatable (which is an important property of orig tarballs). Have you tried comparing the existing orig tarball from the archive to the corresponding tarball downloaded via uscan? $ curl -sSL 'http://http.debian.net/debian/pool/main/libr/librabbitmq/librabbitmq_0.5.0.orig.tar.gz' | sha1sum 826286c3f04695bdc231d8e7b0541f871975cdcc - $ curl -sSL 'https://github.com/alanxz/rabbitmq-c/archive/v0.5.0.tar.gz' | sha1sum 826286c3f04695bdc231d8e7b0541f871975cdcc - Also, looking in Git, it would appear that Michael is currently working on packaging 0.5.1. ;) ♥, - Tianon [1]: http://sources.debian.net/src/docker.io/1.0.0~dfsg1-1/debian/watch -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-python-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
