* Investigate files that the programs cannot reproduce. Such files are stored in the testsuite git branch. * Would be nice to keep a md5sums list of the files in the manifest and check and error if any are different. The error message from xdelta when a source file doesn't have the right checksup is fairly obscure and doesn't aid in fixing the problem. There's an implementation of this in the manifest-md5sums branch of git://git.debian.org/git/users/kibi-guest/pristine-tar.git , but I have not yet decided about applying it, since it would bloat the delta files with a list of all the files and md5sums.. * Optimisation: Enhance zgz so it runs multiple compression alternatives block-by-block in parallell, aborting compressors when they differ from the target file. * Add binary deltas for unreproducible bz2 files. (But currently, only two bz2 files are known that fails to reproduce: nsis and freecol in testsuite.) * Support checkout/checkin using other VCS than git. bzr-builddeb stores pristine-tar data in bzr repositories. The delta is stored in a bzr revprop named "deb-pristine-delta" or "deb-pristine-delta-bz2".
