Severity: wishlist
Hi Dirk,
this is just for the back of our both minds in the case the someone
develops some concept on how to change the behaviour of the default
get-orig-source. The current implementation checks the DESCRIPTION
file, but when the debian folder is in some svn repository
aiming at merging with upstream, then that DESCRIPTION file is
not existing.
$ ./debian/rules get-orig-source
awk: cmd. line:1: fatal: cannot open file `DESCRIPTION' for reading (No such
file or directory)
awk: cmd. line:1: fatal: cannot open file `DESCRIPTION' for reading (No such
file or directory)
The spontaneous reflex is to
if [ -r DESCRIPTION ]; then
# do what is done today
elif [ -x /usr/bin/uscan ]; then
/usr/bin/uscan --verbose --force-download
else
echo "Cannot download sources, please add a debian/watch file or
initiate download manually."
fi
Many thanks
Steffen
