I suggest we rather change the policy since at the moment this point lacks any rationale and isn’t providing any benefit since the pristine-tar data are only useful for minor updates of the package (e.g. when the upstream source hasn’t changed) and pristine-tar is known to be a huge hack and fail to provide correct tarballs, especially when xz is used. -- Cheers, Andrej _______________________________________________ Python-modules-team mailing list Python-modules-team@alioth-lists.debian.net https://alioth-lists.debian.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/python-modules-team
