Hi Andreas,

Thanks for jumping in.

The fis-gtm package is actually really important and I would be happy to
jump in but I somehow lost track in all these discussions.  Could somebody
please confirm that a simple

   uscan --force-download

will provide me with the orig.tar.gz you were talking about and that I
can reproduce everything you was talking about by using the debian/ dir
available in our SVN.  If this could be confirmed I could give it a try.


Nope, 
uscan will still get the standard source tar file from sourceforge.

The current method for getting the source code is from the git repository:

                       https://github.com/luisibanez/fis-gtm

You can clone it with:

          git clone https://github.com/luisibanez/fis-gtm.git

and get in this branch:

          git checkout hackathonjune2012-brad

We typically create the tar file by doing :

git archive --prefix=fis-gtm_5.5-000/ HEAD |gzip > fis-gtm_5.5-000+git92-g81e6aa8.orig.tar.gz

Then expanding this tar file in another directory:

                 cd somewhereelse
                 tar -xzf  fis-gtm_5.5-000+git92-g81e6aa8.orig.tar.gz

this creates a directory 

                    fis-gtm_5.5-000
 
then, inside that one we copy the "debian" directory from fis-gtm in SVN,

and then, we have been doing :

                            debuild



At this point we are working with Brad on fixing some of the issues
related to locale.
