Package: svn-buildpackage retitle 458508 Please allow using a script to regenerate an orig tarball thanks
Hello, First, I'll reiterate some of the things that need to be said: - debian/rules can contain a get-orig-source target (that target can wrap a shell script) - the debian/rules get-orig-source is meant to get a newer upstream source, while you're proposing something like a "rebuild orig-source" target Taking those into account, I'll refer to this script as the rebuild-orig script/target.

Otherwise, I see the default behaviour should something like: if that orig targball is missing or the property is not synced with the changelog file[1] , then the script should be called as a way to get the missing orig. [1] which is hard, since the origUrl property could legally link to an unversioned tarball, or even the upstream one which uses a different version scheme than a versioning scheme that uses ordered releases - e.g. upstream uses dates for versions, but in the LSB-first way - 17-03-2008 instead of 2008-03-17 -- Regards, EddyP ============================================= "Imagination is more important than knowledge" A.Einstein -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
