Hello, I suggest to ask Debian maintainer how to better solve it. 
You can1 ask upstream to do a new release and tag 2 repack the source adding it 
with +repack suffix3 pack the complete tarball with a different compression 
algoritm4 use multiple tarballs for your source (e.g. Nodejs) 
In any case better ask and do it on Debian first and then sync, otherwise we 
will be bitten by mismatches of tarball checksums.

Hi all,


During my testing this evening of kdenlive 22.08, I found two issues:


kdenlive now needs a recommends on mediainfo. No big deal, bug filed (LP: 
#1987934), I can practically take care of that in my sleep.


However, it also needs a module in mlt: glaxnimate. Upon investigation, 
glaxnimate requires a build-dep on qt5base-dev and a build flag enabled 
(-DMOD_GLAXNIMATE=ON). It was at this point that I discovered that the 
glaxnimate submodule is *entirely missing* from the source tarball, and that 
the wrong tarball was grabbed by the Debian maintainer upstream from 
https://github.com/mltframework/mlt/releases/tag/v7.8.0. It seems as though the 
maintainer grabbed the github tagged source code tarball (released June 22nd) 
and not the intended tarball with all submodules, which came later (July 3rd).


Since this tarball is obviously incorrect, how do we fix this situation? The 
maintainer will obviously have to be alerted to the error, but that doesn't 
solve the immediate problem with versioning in the archive. As this is a 
universe package, I'm more than happy to take care of it as long as I know how 
to version it.


I can take care of all the necessary steps to write a bug report on this, but 
this seemed like a unique situation that I needed some advice on first, and 
seemed like it needed more explanation than I can provide on IRC.


Thanks,

Erich
