control: tags -1 + moreinfo control: tags -1 - patch Hi,
uscan is getting bloated. So we need to be careful for adding special case handling which will be rotten soon with changing external software interfaces. The key functionality of uscan is scan upstream tarballs in the http/ftp sites. If checking against VCS tag is needed, it should be in a separate command. We usually do not package directly from VCS. Also, in the upcoming multitar branch, I have implemented pagemangle rule which can do any string substitution of web page. This may be good enough because it allows to change "<file " into "<a " if the upstream only provides subversion tag as the release mechanism. (I think this is non standard case.) As for patch, it reduces tightness of current code for all sites. pagemangle rule is better approach. https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/collab-maint/devscripts.git?h=multitar Osamu _______________________________________________ devscripts-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/devscripts-devel
