💖 dpt-missing-pristine-tar — bestie edition 💖

NAME

dpt-missing-pristine-tar — fix missing pristine-tar information 🌸

like, your pristine-tar info ghosted you and we're getting it back. no cap.

SYNOPSIS

dpt missing-pristine-tar

that's it. that's the whole vibe. one command, zero arguments, main character energy 👑

DESCRIPTION

okay so here's the tea 🍵 dpt missing-pristine-tar fixes missing pristine-tar(1) information by downloading and importing upstream sources. it's giving "restoration era" fr fr 💅

the download is a two-step girly:

  1. first it tries apt-get source — the obvious first choice, the safe pick, the lowkey reliable one ✨
  2. if that fails, it falls back to uscan(1) — the backup bestie who always shows up when the plan flops 🦋

so like, either apt-get source pulls through or uscan(1) catches you. either way you're not left on read 🫶

reminder bestie: it downloads and imports upstream sources to reconstruct that pristine-tar info. that's the whole job. cute, focused, iconic.
