Description: regenerate pristine tarballs
pristine-tar can regenerate a pristine upstream tarball using only a small
binary delta file and a revision control checkout of the upstream branch.
The package also includes a pristine-gz command, which can regenerate a
pristine .gz file, a pristine-bz2 for .bz2 files, and a pristine-xz for .xz
files.
The delta file is designed to be checked into revision control along-side
the upstream branch, thus allowing Debian packages to be built entirely
using sources in revision control, without the need to keep copies of
upstream tarballs.
An optional upstream signature may be attached to tarballs for verification
by, for example, dpkg-source(1).
