One of the interesting things about uscan is there are often multiple different ways to connect to an upstream source and get what you want out of it. So, for example, if upstream posts tarballs, you can scan the HTML for those and find one that matches the latest version number in the changelog (or one with a newer version number, which uscan can use to notify you an update is available). However, uscan also speaks git. If you use `opts=git`, then instead of scanning the HTML looking for a tarball, it connects through git and looks at the tags to find a suitable release. It then clones that commit and uses the source to produce a tarball. Some upstream repositories both produce release tarballs and tag their releases in git, so either approach would work. Some only do one or the other. -- Soren Stoutner so...@debian.org
