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.
