Re: Multiple orig archives, unpacking to a sub-subdirectory



Hi,

At least from what you are describing this should already be supported
as part of «3.0 (quilt)» with its multi upstream tarball support,
known in some places as MUT, or now as addon original tarballs. See
the dpkg-source(1) man page for .orig-<addon>.tar.<ext> (or previously
.orig-<component>.tar.<ext>), where each addon orig.tar is extracted
into <addon>/.

Yes, but for this package, this needs to go below "lib/addon", with the additional complication that "lib" is a separate tarball as well (because it is a git submodule). So basically I have .orig.tar, .orig-lib.tar and .orig-lib-addon.tar, except that that doesn't quite do what I want.

For now, I just concatenate all the tarballs, with adjusted paths, because that is what uscan does, but in the long run I'd like to separate these out (and teach uscan how to do that), because it makes the files more verifiable.
