Package: backup-manager
Version: 0.7.2-1
Severity: normal

When gzip compresses a file, it stores the timestamp in the compressed
file by the default.  This has the side effect that two gzipped
tarballs in BM_REPOSITORY_ROOT cannot possibly be identical, even if
the uncompressed files are; thus BM_ARCHIVE_PURGEDUPS has no effect if
BM_TARBALL_FILETYPE is set to "tar.gz".  To avoid this, the tarballs
should be gzipped with the "-n" switch, maybe by adding "-n" to the
GZIP environment variable.
