Bug#644019: reglookup: Please package latest upstream (1.0.1)
Hi guys,
Just got back from vacation myself.

Could you actually just try using subversion? I may be mirroring it
on GitHub, but that doesn't mean I use git. I'm not convinced I even
like git. Far too complex for simple projects.
Anyway, I'm just pushing a mirror of my SVN repo to GitHub right now.
Can you try using a subversion client to access the repo? e.g.:
$ svn co https://github.com/ecbftw/reglookup
This should address the SVN version generator and bypass any git
archive issue.
As for building with scons 3.6... I'm on Debian sid right now and the
latest version is 2.3.6, so I suspect that is what you mean. I'll
take a look at my build and make sure it behaves as I expect.
thanks,
tim
