I'm really lost, I've been trying for the last five days to upload a
ia64 bianry of the package to auric without success. Here' what
happens:

- I download the .orig.tar.gz, .diff.gz and .dsc from debian servers
(packages.debian.org) on merulo.d.o

- I extract the sources and build the package.

What happens at this stage is that the size of .diff.gz is modified
by the system:

-before the build I have

	ericvb@merulo:~$ less dir_content
	total 1348
	-rw-r--r--    1 ericvb   Debian    1000617 Jan 22 10:42
	crafty_18.12-4.diff.gz
	-rw-r--r--    1 ericvb   Debian        641 Jan 22 10:47
	crafty_18.12-4.dsc
	-rw-r--r--    1 ericvb   Debian     362565 Jan 21 13:40
	crafty_18.12.orig.tar.gz
	-rw-r--r--    1 ericvb   Debian          0 Jan 22 10:48
	dir_content
	75337cc8ad3a21e3eb46e31fa24d5393  crafty_18.12-4.diff.gz
	a17786648540376c79cbfbaf0bdc7823  crafty_18.12.orig.tar.gz

- after the build I have

  ericvb@merulo:~$ less crafty_18.12-4.dsc
  Format: 1.0
  Source: crafty
  Version: 18.12-4
  Binary: crafty
  Maintainer: Eric Van Buggenhaut <ericvb@debian.org>
  Architecture: any
  Standards-Version: 3.5.2
  Build-Depends: sharutils, bzip2, g++, debhelper (>> 2.0.0)
  Files:
   a17786648540376c79cbfbaf0bdc7823 362565 crafty_18.12.orig.tar.gz
   c06232064392d7a802c425c89de4e97d 1000616 crafty_18.12-4.diff.gz
	  

What happens then ? I can't upload the package to
auric.d.o/.../incoming because the 2 .diff.gz are different and the
checksums have changed too.


Any help would be greatly appreciated because all this mess keeps new
version of crafty from entering woody before freeze and actual version
is really old.

Thanks.
