Re: creating an orig.tar.gz from a CVS
Hello List:
Thanks Xavier for the trick.
After getting information from the upstream maintainer, it appears that the CVS have
a dedicated Makefile to build the upstream package. Of course, this Makefile is not
distributed within the upstream package, as other part of the CVS tree: the package
is full of makefile mostly written by hand (meaning not generated with automake) that
are meant to run on different OS. In short, it is a little messy and the debian/rules
trick can not be applied here because the CVS tree source includes the package, but
is not the package. Never mind, this certainly part of the job of the Debian maintainer
to rationalise as far as possible the upstream package in view to apply the dh machinery.
Cheers,
Jerome

You can still add a target in your debian/rules file to avoid doing it
too many times :). See [1] for explanation for example about
get-orig-source target.
