That's probably the repo the user want to
I do, yes. But that is because I already have the orig.tar.gz from upstream. If somebody wants to casually build source packages from an older version, by using a tool such as darcs-buildpackage -- which generates a diff.gz based on the differences between the two branches -- they'll need the upstream URL as well. However, if they are just using it to send me a few patches, the Debian URL will do just fine. -- John -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
