Hi Steffen,
good idea !
How about a command such as debian/rules tarballs, which would create
the directory if necessary and use uscan to download the latest sources
there? I have implemented it in the `melting' package and it seems to
work well. For the packages without watch file, debian/rules tarballs
could do the things by hand...
Here is an example.
# This is useful to download the orig.gz sources before running svn-buildpackage
tarballs:
[ -d ../tarballs ] || mkdir ../tarballs
uscan --force-download
mv ../melt* ../tarballs
As you can see, code factorisation is not 100 %, but on the other hand, the
specific parts are trivial.
Alternatively, there is an interesting option in svn-buildpackage,
--svn-prebuild. (See the example of the manpage).
Have a nice day,
