Should I commit this orig tarball to SVN too?It varies, but I would say don't commit the orig sources (tarball or otherwise) to svn, but use mergeWithUpstream in order to have svn-buildpackage unpack it automatically. Then, just keep the tarballs locally.
BTW, if you need to change the tarball just use a get-orig-source target in your rules file (as described in developers reference). Kind regards Andreas. -- http://fam-tille.de
