Hi folks, (Keep me in CC list please)
I'm working on some packages whose upstream (github) doesn't make releases. So I need to invent upstream versions, that's OK. However when one is going to maintain a number of packages that watch is not present, upstream update tracking by hand would be a nightmare. In a word, this is what I want: Suppose that the latest upstream update is `aabbccdd`, and the corresponding commit date is `20160607`, i.e. ``` $ git log -1 commit aabbccddXXX Author: XXX Date: Tue Jun 7 09:24:33 2016 +0000 ``` And I hope some uscan hacks can automatically generate such a version string `0~20160607-gaabbccd`. I read all the uscan examples, and it seems that uscan works basing on http and ftp only. That is to say uscan will not scan Git repos so the above demand won't be satisfied. Did I miss some uscan feature? If not, do you folks think this feature proposal should be filed against uscan? BTW, the VCS scan provided in DDPO is something similar to what I want, but I didn't found the scanning script in the qa repo ... Thanks in advance. :-) -- Best, Lumin
