No, I meant a hook on your machine which is executed always and which will try to checkout upstream sources if they aren't there. Actually, also the solution of a hook in the checked out repository might do the trick, but as you observer will need an explicitly enabling flag that triggers that only on repositories which are known to be "safe". > A piece of code says more than thousands words, so here is a prototypial > wrapper: > http://people.debian.org/~nomeata/pkg-haskell-checkout Urm, I understand the deal, but I'd prefer it to support get-orig-source, read on. > I haven’t worked with get-orig-source before.

It is the target to use if your upstream tarball needs some kind of mangling (e.g., stripping non-DFSG bits or packing together multiple upstream tarballs for multi-upstream source packages). What I'd love from your script is to test if get-orig-source is defined (possibly invoking make in some dry-run way, not just parsing debian/rules cause it can include other files) before trying uscan. > Or we talk about this at DebConf :-) Deal :-) Cheers. -- Stefano Zacchiroli -o- PhD in Computer Science \ PostDoc @ Univ.
