Not really. The .orig.tar.gz could be a VCS snapshot. It just needs to be named appropriately and (preferably) be reproducible if lost. If upstream doesn't normally release tarballs, a get-orig-source target is virtually mandatory since this package would be very hard to maintain without it. >You can't upload a VCS revision as a source package (yet). Is this a thinly-veiled reference to the new source package format? If it is, do you know of any page on the Internet that gives the status of this project? -- Boyd Stephen Smith Jr. ,= ,-_-. =. b...@iguanasuicide.net ((_/)o o(\_)) ICQ: 514984 YM/AIM: DaTwinkDaddy `-'(. .)`-' http://iguanasuicide.net/ \_/
