Package: dgit Version: 3.10 It doesn't look like dgit really works on Ubuntu. This seems a major weakness if Ubuntu users are unable to easily work with packages maintained with dgit.
$ sudo apt install dgit $ dgit clone pcre canonical suite name for unstable is sid starting new git history no version available from the archive dgit: package pcre does not exist in suite unstable $ dgit clone pcre artful dgit: unknown suite artful $ dgit clone pcre zesty dgit: unknown suite zesty I've never used dgit before so I don't really understand what's going wrong here. Do you have to be actually using Debian unstable (and not testing) to use dgit to work with an unstable package? Could it just use snapshot.debian.org? or fetch what it needs from the Debian package archives itself? Thank you, Jeremy Bicha
