The debian packaging and upstream are in one repository and I didn't want the contents of the release tarball to be inconsistent with what's in the package. I would also have to change the way I use git tags to generate a version number dynamically. I think I'll separate the debian packaging from upstream soon, it does seem more practical overall. But I still don't really understand how automated tools can find the upstream source as well as the packaging from the Vcs control fields when they're in separate repositories. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-mentors-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
