Oh, okay, so your get-orig-source target would internally use uscan. How do you tell from that what tarball it downloaded for an automated target? Would you parse the output of uscan somehow? > c) Proceed as per: > > http://www.golden-gryphon.com/blog/manoj/blog/2009/02/25/A_day_in_the_life_of_a_Debian_hacker/ > > Is this so very different from what people do?

I never use uscan --download; I always download the new upstream source myself using wget or a web browser or FTP client. -- 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".
