I am wondering how cvs-buildpackage fits into this. From what I understand, cvs-inject checks in the unpacked upstream tarball into the CVS, puts an upstream_version tag on it. cvs-buildpackage then creates the orig.tar.gz from the CVS sources. Isn't that a violation of the pristine sources principle? Greetings Marc -- -------------------------------------- !!
