That should have been s/Tags/Usertags/, I guess? It it's not for
wheezy, then distribution in the changelog should be set to
experimental rather than unstable.
The freeze policy does not forbid that this package is uploaded to
unstable even if it is not for wheezy.
Well, of course it does not. But that doesn't make uploading to unstable
a good idea.
"Please also note that since many updates (hopefully, the vast majority)
will still be going in through unstable, major changes in unstable right
now can disrupt efforts to get RC bugs fixed. We don't ask you not to
make changes in unstable, but we do ask that you be aware of the effects
your changes can have -- especially if you maintain a library. Please
continue to keep disruptive changes out of unstable and continue making
use of experimental where appropriate. Note that you can stage NEW
uploads in experimental to avoid disruption in unstable."
Changes since the last upload:
* New upstream release.
AFAICS upstream does not offer source tarball for downloads. (Ugh!)
How was the .orig.tar.xz created then?
http://www.ovito.org/manual/installation.getting_the_source.html
https://ovito.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/ovito/tags/release-1.1.0/
Yes, I've seen these, which I why concluded that upstream doesn't
provide tarballs.
Just to clarify, my question would be ideally answered in one of the
following forms:
- by updating debian/watch (in case I'm wrong and tarballs are
downloadable from somewhere);
- by providing README.source (see policy §4.14, point 4);
- by adding get-orig-source target to debian/rules (see policy §4.9).
