Sure. This is done with tags. You can pull both Debian and upstream versions from a Debian darcs repo, or you can pull upstream versions from the upstream repo. When you run dbp-importorig or one of the other dbp-* tools that imports upstream versions, it automatically creates a tag in darcs identifying that version. You can see these tags with darcs changes -s. Here's an example: tagged UPSTREAM_haskell-hsql_1.4 the format of this tag is: UPSTREAM_srcpkgname_version this version does *not* contain a Debian version number. Then, when you run dbp-markdeb during the course of preparing Debian releases (or use dbp-importdsc), tags are created like this: tagged DEBIAN_haskell-hsql_1.4-5 This time, the version number *does* include the debian release. You can check these out with a command like: darcs get --tag=DEBIAN_haskell-hsql_1.4-5 ../haskell-hsql That will get you the source tree corresponding specifically to 1.4-5. darcs-buildpackage internally uses this technique to fetch the appropriate upstream tree if necessary. Debian-native packages (that have no diff.gz) contain only DEBIAN tags. -- John -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
