For ffmpeg (and mplayer AFAIUI), upstream provides only revision data, and is heavily using svn:externals, which forced me doing horrible things like this: http://git.debian.org/?p=pkg-multimedia/ffmpeg-debian.git;a=blob;f=debian/get-orig-source.sh;hb=HEAD http://git.debian.org/?p=pkg-multimedia/mplayer.git;a=blob;f=debian/get-orig-source.sh;hb=HEAD Does someone manage to "port" that script to uscan? ;-) -- Gruesse/greetings, Reinhard Tartler, KeyID 945348A4 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-policy-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
