Did that ever work? I wasn't able to use tar.bz2 on Ubuntu 6.06 AFAIR.
yes, .tar.bz2 works fine for 6.06, 7.04, 8.04.
It would be nice if you fix this regression.
I got on the other hand the answer from some ubuntu packagers that .tar.bz2 will not be accepted by the public build instances for debia or ubuntu, so it has a good reason that dpkg-source is crying about not allowed .tar.bz2. I switced back to .tar.gz for my combi .deb and .rpm packages though.
What I say is valid for at least: - Debian Lenny, Sid - Ubuntu: 7.10, 8.04, 8.10, 9.04
As far as I know the build service automatically repackages the .tar.bz2 that I give into a .tar.gz file before the build. Like I said AFAIK it does that for all debs except 8.10. So I'm waiting that the openSUSE people fix this bug.
I think it does not repackage the sources from .tar.bz2 into .tar.gz. What filenames would you like to use in this case, what should be stated in the .dsc then? Lets do that on an example multiplatform .deb and .spec based package. The source file is called hallo.tar.bz2. The .spec files references then hallo.tar.bz2, this is easy. On the other hand, the .dsc file references then hallo.tar.gz, a file that does not exist, only to circumvent some dpkg-source consistency checks which are there for a good reason? This is not a good solution, because not transparent. Why not fulfil the Debian/Ubuntu and the Fedora/... whatever packaging requirements? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+help@opensuse.org
