Hi, I managed to figure out how to update get-orig-source.
I looked for the release tag in the zotero repository, and then picked the last commit before, or on that date. (from debian/rules) # 5.0.33 tag was on 2017 Dec 19 COMMIT_VERSION=5.0.33+dfsg Z_COMMIT=22d3fbb ZB_COMMIT=b330e8e ZSB_COMMIT=9b0d0b3 I also managed to update the patches I added the dependency on npm to try and build the client, as documented here: https://www.zotero.org/support/dev/client_coding/building_the_standalon e_client And then discovered that Debian's copy of npm is very old.... and wont run, so I've added a block to this bug 871502 with the out of date npm (870460) I've pushed all the changes to a scratch repository on github. https://github.com/detrout/debian-zotero-standalone Diane
