Package: developers-reference
Version: 3.3.9
Severity: normal
Hello,
Quoting 6.7.8.2 Repackaged upstream source point 4:
[A repackaged .orig.tar.gz] should use
<packagename>-<upstream-version>.orig as the name of
the top-level directory in its tarball. This makes
it possible to distinguish pristine tarballs from
repackaged ones.
That would suggest you would have
foo-ver pristine upstream tarball
foo-ver.orig repacked upstream tarball
This seems to be confusing. I think common practice is to
append to the upstream version, either dfsg (if that's why
you have repacked) or other tags depending on the reason. I
think this point (4) should be dropped, and the
version-tagging expanded.
