I certainly agree with this. I'm not sure if anyone was proposing using get-orig-source instead of the archive for revisions of the same upstream version, but I definitely agree that the Debian archive is the canonical source. I personally use the same technique that Steve uses for the packages that I maintain that need to be repacked, and I'm having a failure of imagination for how I could do it the way that Manoj describes. -- Russ Allbery (r...@debian.org) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
