We are using pristine-tar to recreate the tarball "magically" from the
git repository. The pristine-tar branch contains metainformation about
the original tarball (think of timestamps and user permissions) that are
not available inside the upstream branch of the repository. It is
needed to get a byte-by-byte identical reproduction of the originally
imported tarball.
I can only guess what Andrius might have done when he uploaded the
package. May be he cept an older tarball on his disk (from a previous
gbp run) than the one that is currently inside the Git repository?
I think if we have no answer from ftpmaster until I'm back home from
DebConf I'll ping via IRC. In this case we are not really in a hurry
since I think / hope that ftpmaster stores extra information for some
package close to that package. My mail contains some: Please do not
look at the current upload wait for the next one. So they will not
waste time on some incomplete d/copyright (hopefully).
Kind regards
Andreas.
