I had no idea that uscan could do this. I think this is a cleaner solution to most of my problems. However, I don't think this helps with the original problem on the thread where upstream uses only a VCS. I think that's a bad idea, but some upstreams do it, and right now uscan doesn't handle that sort of case (and it's rather outside its current purpose). -- Russ Allbery (r...@debian.org) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-policy-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
