Woodrow,
Thank you for the assistance. I have been able to get further but am
stumpted by the upload to mentors.debian.org. My upload is getting
rejected:
timeshift dsc reference timeshift_19.01+ds.orig.tar.gz, but the file
was not found.
Please, include it in your upload.
I have this file, or rather the .tar.xz version of it so I need to
either not have the dsc file point to the orig.tar.gz or fix it to
point to the orig.tar.xz then get dput to inlude it in the upload. I
don't believe that it is needed as it already exits on
packages.debian.org/sid/timeshift.
Thank you for any help that anyone can provide in working through this
issue.-Steve Meliza
