Please reimport the tarball downloaded from <a href="http://download.sugarlabs.org" target="_blank">download.sugarlabs.org</a>[3],<br>

Well i am not exactly sure , but does that mean i just need to use git-import-orig again and import the tarball again? Or are there some steps to be followed.Well , what i was thinking is that you just import the tarball you downloaded from sugarlabs, but then very simple things might not be necessarily right . i will be very helpful if you can provide some guidance here :).<br>

If the project have not yet been released to Debian, then yes, I believe it is as simple as running git-import-orig on top of the already imported tarball in the git.<br>
<br>
I recommend to use the CDBS features to handle upstream tarballs: Include <a href="http://upstream-tarball.mk" target="_blank">upstream-tarball.mk</a>, add variables about upstream location, and use the build target "get-orig-source" to fetch it.<br>
<br>
Recently I wrote about its use here: <a href="http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/pkg-multimedia-maintainers/2010-August/011747.html" target="_blank">http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/pkg-multimedia-maintainers/2010-August/011747.html</a><br>
<br>
Try read that, and ask if it still does not make sense how to handle it.<br>
<br>
<br>
Kind regards,<br>
