It's not always possible/simple/nice to use sdist, because it contains prebuild docs. And I don't like to do +dfsg rebuild just for removing docs. Sometimes sdists doesn't contain tests. So my preference is: - use sdist if it's possible (have tests, don't have prebuilds, ...) - use git tag tarballs (https://github.com/<group>/<projects>/tags) I already migrated few packages OS->DPMT so far. -- Best regards Ondřej Nový Email: n...@ondrej.org PGP: 3D98 3C52 EB85 980C 46A5 6090 3573 1255 9D1E 064B
