Do I interpret that out of context or does this mean
that nowadays neither a CVS repository nor a
source tarbal are acceptable starting points for a Debian package?
You still need to create the orig tarball somehow. Nothing has changed
in
this regard.
That I know. The question is if there is a tarball floating around
somewhere with a program source, can a Debian Developer make it
into a package or are there additional hard demands placed on
the tarball apart from copyright issues.
(Of course a Debian Developer will not touch a program that he considers
not to be of sufficient quality, such as rejecting programs without a
maintainer or such that are not under source control, but that
is a subjective call.)
