Nope,
uscan will still get the standard source tar file from sourceforge.

The current method for getting the source code is from the git repository:

                       https://github.com/luisibanez/fis-gtm

You can clone it with:

          git clone https://github.com/luisibanez/fis-gtm.git

and get in this branch:

          git checkout hackathonjune2012-brad

We typically create the tar file by doing :

git archive --prefix=fis-gtm_5.5-000/ HEAD |gzip >
fis-gtm_5.5-000+git92-g81e6aa8.orig.tar.gz

Then expanding this tar file in another directory:

                 cd somewhereelse
                 tar -xzf  fis-gtm_5.5-000+git92-g81e6aa8.orig.tar.gz

this creates a directory

                    fis-gtm_5.5-000

then, inside that one we copy the "debian" directory from fis-gtm in SVN,

and then, we have been doing :

                            debuild



At this point we are working with Brad on fixing some of the issues
related to locale.
