Hello Joey,

In bug #507322, you've mentioned that pristine-tar should just work with
..tgz archives. That does not seem to be the case.

make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/rrs/Community/Packaging/smp-utils'
dh_clean
gbp:warn: Unknown compression type of pristine-tar data for

pristine-tar should look for tar.tgz.delta, in this case.

I think this should be assigned to git-buildpackage. pristine-tar worked
fine when committing manually.

    19:20:33 rrs@champaran:/tmp/foo (master)$ pristine-tar commit

    /usr/bin/pristine-tar: committed smp_utils-0.96.tgz.delta to branch

    19:20:43 rrs@champaran:/tmp/foo (pristine-tar)$ ls
    smp_utils-0.96.tgz.delta  smp_utils-0.96.tgz.id

severity 632856 wishlist
retitle 632856 gbp should try harder to guess the orig tarballs name
thanks

Hi Ritesh,

The name of the orig.tar.gz is wrong and git-buildpackage currently
isn't guessing. Is that what you'd expect?
Cheers,
