Created attachment 951048 [details] Test file Description of problem: Fedpkg should optionally honor compressed files as local source. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): fedpkg-1.19-1.fc20.noarch How reproducible: yes, always with gnurobbo SCM Steps to Reproduce: 1. fedpkg new-sources *.png.bz2 2. 3. Actual results: Nothing added to git but files appeaar in .gitignore, as well sources file gets corrupt. Expected results: fedpkg should implement a complex logic to differ between real binaries and/or additional source files, maybe compressed. Additional info: Do this with a force option? Alternatively, fedpkg could try to uncompress small file pieces and look inside the extract if it's textual.
Maybe it's not quite clear how to use fedpkg new-sources. This RFE is more about having an option add-sources or the like. As it turns out, I've to give -all- available source files to new-sources, even if I want to add some only to the existing ones, otherwise the existed ones will be removed again from sources file.
"fedpkg upload" is what you want to add a new tarball to existing ones.
