Yes, I know it is only part of work. Problem is that uscan refuses to
it's work. As soon I specify Files-Excluded: field, I receive following
error:
tar: Skipping to next header
tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors
mk-origtargz: error: tar --list --auto-compress --file
../gitit_0.10.6.3.orig.tar.gz gave error exit status 2
uscan: error: mk-origtargz --package gitit --version 0.10.6.3
--compression gzip --directory .. --copyright-file debian/copyright
../gitit-0.10.6.3.tar.gz gave error exit status 2
Did you ever encountered this? I failed to find example
package, that
uses this uscan feature.
