157 * zgz now includes a trimmed down copy of the compressor from bzip2 0.9.5d.
158 That old version of bzip2 generated different compression results,
159 and is the overwhelming reason for failures to reproduce bz2 files
160 in the Debian archive. Closes: #560170, #579657, #525128, #576119
161 (Special thanks to Laszlo Ersek for tracking this down.)
162 * Awesome new zgz man page!
163 * Faster generation of bzip2 deltas: Do not repeatedly decompress
165 * pristine-bz2 -t can be used to make it try harder to generate
166 a delta. Currently, this tries pbzip2 -b with various numbers.
167 Not the default because it's slow and I don't have any bzip2 files
168 from the wild that were built that way.

183 * pristine-gz: Fall back to storing a binary delta, in the rare
184 cases where the file cannot be 100% reproduced. A warning message
185 is printed if the binary delta is not relatively small.
186 * Allows generating quite small deltas for php-geoip,
187 xsupplicant, libgraphics-colornames-perl,
188 Ricoh-Aficio_2020D-Postscript.ppd.gz, and dozens on others
189 that zgz can closely replicate. Closes: #518972, #506874
190 * For other things the deltas are not as small.
191 This seems an accepable tradeoff to be able to reliably use it on
192 anything. Closes: #475778, #509703, #509707, #515256, #515331
193 * Increase gz delta version number to 3.0 if a binary delta file
195 * pristine-tar: Avoid dying in corner case involving tar's filename
196 encoding. Fixes several failures.
197 * pristine-tar: Avoid dying if tar tv exits nonzero. This makes
198 reproducing star's tarball work, even though tar gets upset
199 while listing it and decides to die at the end.
200 * pristine-gz: Avoid passing -F to zgz if --original-name
201 is passed. This bug prevented pristine-gz gengz from
202 recreating the gz in some cases.
203 * Add aliases ci and co for commit and checkout. Closes: #500388
204 * pristine-gz: Fix generation of gz files that have a null filename field.

206 puts all files in a subdir, but does not contain the subdir's directory

237 * Add a .gitignore file
238 * Various cleanups to zgz.
239 * Remove the unnecessary -l, -S, -t, and -v flags from zgz.
240 * Allow the empty string as an original filename in zgz, rather than
241 treating the empty string as a flag to not store an original filename.
242 * Fix zgz's usage message to stop identifying the program as gzip.
243 * Add a new -T,--timestamp flag to zgz, to explicitly set the timestamp
244 stored in the gzip file, rather than taking the timestamp of the input
245 file. Closes: #507110
248 * zgz: Avoid using uninitialized data as timestamp in -c mode.
250 * Document existing long options. Closes: #499488
251 * Avoid exposing tar file names to the shell. Closes: #500499
252 * Clarify bit in man page about what file formats are supported.
256 * zgz: Incorporate a cut-down version of GNU gzip to support the --gnu
257 option. The cut-down gzip includes support for explicitly setting the
258 timestamp and original filename. Closes: #506627
259 * pristine-gz: Now that zgz supports explicitly setting the timestamp and
260 original filename with both --zlib and --gnu, use that support to do all
261 compression using -c with standard input and standard output. This
262 removes the need to create a temporary file with the original filename and
263 set its timestamp, as well as the need to continuously recreate the file
264 when compressed and removed. Closes: #506627
265 * zgz: Remove support for files, making -c the default. This removes a lot
266 of complexity and code duplication.

286 the gzip header claims that the original input file had an extension

374 will use the local one. If there's only a remote one, it'll use that.
