Dear Andreas, thank you for your help!
The external download was for the unittest framework we use. Now I disabled the testing by adding "nocheck" to the build options (and committed), so it should compile fine. I would like to ask you what is the exact procedure to publish a new upstream release. I saw you made a new branch, then somehow merged into master and also generated some pristine-tar data. best Angelos ps. I mailed to [email protected] and waiting to get access to the wiki..
