I am not surprised (but frustrated and sad) that you try to argue that what is listed as upstream source need not be upstream source. > You need to check with the release tarballs. > https://github.com/lodash/lodash/releases If upstream source is not https://github.com/lodash/lodash but instead it is https://github.com/lodash/lodash then it is a(nother) bug that the package points at the wrong place for its upstream source. > We don't usually specify the releases page in debian/copyright only > the project page. You can verify this against any other package in > debian. That's no bug if project page _also_ is upstream source, as is commonly the case e.g. at Github. It is a minor bug when project page clearly and unambiguously references upstream source. It is a severe bug when project page serves code which upstream use as their prefered form for editing but the code distributed with Debian as "upstream source" is *not* that same code but instead some other code, regardless how clearly that other non-source code is referenced from project page, and regardless if upstream labels that other code as their "releases". This bug is about the code upstream treats as their source *not* being what Debian distributes as upstream *source*. > All files derived from source have their corresponding source code and > it is regenerated during build.

This bug is *not* about embedded code, it is about the main code. - Jonas -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist & Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ [x] quote me freely [ ] ask before reusing [ ] keep private
