Some of this is in "wishlist" territory though: - could/should uscan be run centrally, e.g. creating a pool of +dfsg tarballs on alioth? - uscan is only for existing packages - should it be generalized to also read directly from watch files that are not in a source package? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
