I guess you are talking about the top-level directory of the archive contents? I’m not sure. I like to keep things simple and predictable, and I would not expect a tool that claims to (a) rename archives, (b) change compression schemes and (d) delete files to rename the contents. Also, what is the gain? I believe that "dpkg-source -x" will fix up the top-level directory name anyways (or am I mistaken)? > Regarding origtargz: I admit I have not understood how to use this. > Could you perhaps add an example in the end of the manpage? Use it like uscan, just with a tarball that you have obtained anywhere else. So the simplest case would be $ wget http://example.com/new-and-hot-release/with-weird-name.tar.gz $ mk-origtargz --package foo --version 0.1 with-weird-name.tar.gz # now you have a foo_0.1.orig.tar.gz file But if you never had the need to do that independent from uscan then you can of course ignore it.
