Hello,

I would like to package the latest upstream version of librabbitmq.

However, the packaging is in git, and I am not sure how to insert the
latest upstream version in this git repository.

I take this to mean I should be downloading the orig.tag.gz from github.

However, just to make things more interesting, the 5.0 and 5.1 tar.gz file
from github contains a "sub git repository" (not sure I have used correct
git terminology here), with invalid relative reference,
under rabbitmq-c-0.5.1/codegen, which wasn't included in
librabbitmq_0.5.0.orig.tar.gz

brian@aquitard:~/tree/debian/unstable/librabbitmq/librabbitmq/codegen$ cat
.git
gitdir: ../.git/modules/codegen
brian@aquitard:~/tree/debian/unstable/librabbitmq/librabbitmq/codegen$ git
diff
fatal: Not a git repository: ../.git/modules/codegen

So it looks like maybe the librabbitmq_0.5.0.orig.tar.gz was repackaged
from upstream? Should I do the same thing for 0.5.1?

Thanks
