Package: pristine-tar Version: 1.50+nmu1 Severity: normal I discovered that a package I was trying to use with pristine-tar failed to work. The cause of the issue seems to be that the upstream tarball's top directory name is capitalised, but pristine-tar regenerates a tarball with the name lowercased.
Steps to reproduce using git-buildpackage: 1. Import the attached minimal working example into git using the command: gbp import-dsc --pristine-tar hello_1.0-1.dsc 2. Change into the build directory: cd hello 3. Regenerate the original tar ball using pristine-tar, for example: gbp buildpackage -S 4. Return to the parent directory, then: $ tar ztf hello_1.0.orig.tar.gz Hello-1.0/ Hello-1.0/Makefile Hello-1.0/hello.c $ tar ztf build-area/hello_1.0.orig.tar.gz hello-1.0/ hello-1.0/Makefile hello-1.0/hello.c Note the capitalisation has changed. Also: $ ls -l hello_1.0.orig.tar.gz build-area/hello_1.0.orig.tar.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 jdg jdg 256 Mar 4 20:46 build-area/hello_1.0.orig.tar.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 jdg jdg 175 Mar 4 20:00 hello_1.0.orig.tar.gz Best wishes, Julian
