Why would you use pristine-tar instead of uscan? It seems to me the easiest way to generate an upstream tarball that's bit-for-bit identical to the upstream tarball is to, you know, download the upstream tarball. The only countercases I can image are 1) if you aren't on the internet right now; or 2) you can't afford to download the upstream tarball (because it's absurdly large, like say openoffice). -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-haskell-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
