If pristine-tar cannot find all the files in this directory that are in the tarball, it has to use a binary delta to represent them. Apparently the directory you ran it in contains none of the files at all, so the delta is too large. Besides not using pristine-tar correctly, there is absolutely no reason to be using it at all in this case. oclhashcat-plus_0.15.orig.tar.gz is a file you have created; it is not the original file from upstream. So there is little or no value in being able to regenerate that file from your source checkout. -- see shy jo signature.asc Description: Digital signature
Bug#720999: pristine-tar: Fails to import 435 MB orig.tar.gz tarball
Package: pristine-tar Version: 1.28 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer, I am a developer of Kali Linux (https://wiki.debian.org/Derivatives/Census/Kali) and am upgrading our version of oclHashcat-plus. The tool contains kernels for each type of GPU it supports so the resultant tarball is very large even after removing the Windows executables from the 7z archive available on their site. When I try to import the tarball via git-import-orig, it fails with the following: error: excessively large binary delta for /tmp/pristine-tar.Oo4GbRUxeB/origtarball (Please consider filing a bug report.) pristine-tar: failed to generate delta Pasted below is the complete sequence of steps from downloading the tool right through to the failed import. dookie@kali:/tmp/work$ gbp-clone g...@git.kali.org:packages/oclhashcat-plus --all Branch pristine-tar set up to track remote branch pristine-tar from origin.
