Hi, Lukas,

Thanks for the new round of reviews. You're making me learn a ton. :)

In that same message [1], you suggested the use of a version control system, but I don't know where to make it public (I know that alioth is being discontinued, so I'm a bit lost with this).

I hope someone here will have a suggestion where your repository can live.

In the meantime, I can keep it in my personal server [1]. However, I don't think it's a good place for keeping it in the long run, because I do not fully trust myself as a sysadmin. Hehehe.

Where did you get pragha-1.3.3.tar.gz from? I got it from https://github.com/pragha-music-player/pragha/archive/v1.3.3.tar.gz.

The files are not exactly the same, as you mentioned, but their contents, after extraction, are identical.

If you use git and git-buildpackage, make sure to use the "pristine-tar" feature. When using this, a small delta file will be added to a special pristine-tar branch. This allows to reconstruct the original tarball exactly as it was.

I wasn't aware of git-buildpackage, so I was making the tarball by hand and building with debuild. Thanks for pointing this out. On the other hand, I still do not understand how git-buildpackage works. All my attempts to use it still resulted in a source tarball (.orig.tar.gz) that is not exactly the same as the tarball from upstream.

Done.

Makes sense. Done.

I uploaded a new package, which contains these changes and which was built with git-buildpackage.

Best regards, Gabriel
