Re: Conflict between debian/upstream (DEP-12) & debian/upstream/ (uscan)

[Simon Kainz <simon@familiekainz.at>]

Hello,

I use a daily dump of

svn://svn.debian.org/svn/collab-qa/packages-metadata

to get the URLS from upstream metadata into DUCK. Does this naming 
conflict somehow change
the structure of this repo? Currently i process *.upstream files and i 
wonder if they also might get renamed somehow.

Regards,

Simon
