Package: devscripts Version: 2.10.53 Severity: wishlist Hi!
afaict there is no way to tell uscan "download the upstream tarball I need" for the package in the current directory. I want an option to make uscan look at debian/changelog, figure out the upstream version, and download it. so if I'm building 0.01-1 but 0.02 is available upstream, it would still download the 0.01 tarball. I've looked at creating a patch, tho uscan's code looks a too big for me to easily parse and change without spending a lot of time. I have a script which sort of does this by using dpkg-parsechangelog, trying to apply the dversionmangle (the parsing sucks tho, so it sometimes doesn't work), and passing it in via in --download-version. I might try to create a patch for uscan, tho I've been using my script since before I added my ~/bin/ into gffit (Apr 2), so I don't expect to get around to it anytime soon.
