The first sentece was referring to the fact that you could use a different compression program for the newer debian revision, and upload that differently-compressed tarball. For example, it's possible to do a -1 upload with a foo_1.2.3.orig.tar.gz and a -2 upload with a foo_1.2.3.orig.tar.xz, and the debian archive would happily keep both near (with -1 referring to the .gz and the -2 referring to the .xz), and the actual version wouldn't change. Though, that's really ugly, and I always get mad when I notice such thing. -- regards, Mattia Rizzolo GPG Key: 66AE 2B4A FCCF 3F52 DA18 4D18 4B04 3FCD B944 4540 .''`. more about me: https://mapreri.org : :' : Launchpad user: https://launchpad.net/~mapreri `. `'` Debian QA page: https://qa.debian.org/developer.php?login=mattia `-
