Package: devscripts Version: 2.20.4 Owner: Andrius Merkys <mer...@debian.org>
Hello, uscan's mode=svn produces tarballs with different checksums. This causes Debian queue daemon refuse subsequent uploads of the same upstream version, which is a mess. The root cause of this issue is Subversion not willing to preserve commit timestamps for exported directories. Thus directories inside tarballs get ctimes/mtimes of the moment the uscan is called. My solution is to readjust directory ctimes/mtimes to reflect the times of their youngest children, right after 'svn export' completes. I am making myself an owner of this bug, as I am currently working on a patch for this. Andrius
