I get:
        /tmp/camitk-3.2.2 $ mk-origtargz ../camitk_3.2.2.orig.tar.gz
        Leaving ../camitk_3.2.2.orig.tar.gz where it is.

(which makes sense: tar tzf ../camitk_3.2.2.orig.tar.gz|grep swf lists
no files).

If I add "*/dicom" to Files-Excluded, I get
        /tmp/camitk-3.2.2 $ mk-origtargz ../camitk_3.2.2.orig.tar.gz
        Leaving ../camitk_3.2.2.orig.tar.gz where it is, deleting 168
        files from it.
and the file is smaller, so it looks like it is working as intended.



Note that "Files-Excluded: dicom" does _not_ work since James’s patch
d7f603e2e15257be0c539a1f62b097f3a2109892, which makes sure the same
semantics as for "Files" stanza is used, and there it is specified:
        Patterns match pathnames that start at the root of the source
        tree. Thus, "Makefile.in" matches only the file at the root of
        the tree, but "*/Makefile.in" matches at any depth.

Not sure what broke for you. Do you have "file" installed?

Greetings,
Joachim
