[08:06] <__marco> Hi! The launchpad's building system is really useful
[08:06] <__marco> Thanks for that
[22:43] <ulrichard_> The original tarball of a package changed, and even after deleting the package from my ppa, my new upload is rejected, stating the orig.tar.gz already exists and is different.
[22:43] <wgrant> ulrichard_: You need to change the version.
[22:43] <wgrant> ulrichard_: (how did the orig tarball change? by definition that's impossible.)
[22:44] <ulrichard_> The upstream author removed some hidden files that slipped in on his mac.
[22:44] <wgrant> Without changing the version? :/
[22:44] <wgrant> That's unfortunate.
[22:44] <ulrichard_> yes
[22:45] <wgrant> So, I'd rename the tarball to something like somepkg_1.0+repack1.orig.tar.gz, and add +repack1 to the upstream version in the changelog.
[22:45] <ulrichard_> ok, I'll try that. Thanks for the idea
[22:49] <ulrichard_> wgrant: yes, that worked
