Hi Andreas,
Good point. What matters in the end is that the Vcs-* fields in the Debian
source control files are accurate.
The function of scripts/umegaya-guess-url somehow inverted at some point. Now
I use it to extract a package name from an URL, because I parse the tasks files
for the Vcs-* entries of the prospective source packages. In case they are not
in a blends repository, I see no other way to discover them.
This said, the current scripts/umegaya-guess-url is still very conservative
in its guesses, and tends to discard the few URLS that were rescued by
parsing the tasks files... Many things on the TODO list...
Have a nice day,
