Anyway, normally you dont have to > do that so often, so that I am not that concerned of. It might be nice to have something like git-clone to create the tarball, no? I don't like GIT that much; it doesn't have an option to fetch a specific revision based on a date (or at least an incremental revision number), but I could work around this. The Debian Policy (section 4.9) describes the use of the get-orig-source target. However, I've also read that there is some speculation about its formulation. Having fixed .tar.gz files with watch/uscan isn't a problem, but it is slightly more complicated when you have a VCS. Option A. I could use a specific revision number, that is parsed from debian/changelog. debian/rules then has to build a pristine tarball. This looks like the easiest way, but not entirely in accord with the Policy. Although you could argue that it fetches the original source tarball which has the same md5sum as the package maintainer has uploaded to Debian. I, and others as well, find this section of the Policy lacks some clarity. Option B. debian/rules fetches the latest GIT repository, scans the latest commit for the date, updates the versioning in debian/changelog, and repackages the orig.tar.gz file. This is quite difficult to implement, and I fail to see the added value of it. Do you agree that I should go for option A? >>> If you want to check out only your stuff do >>> for i in cjk latex-cjk-japanese-wadalab latex-cjk-chinese-arphic ; do >>> svn co svn+ssh://danai-guest@svn.debian.org/svn/debian-tex/$i . >>> done >> Thanks for the scriplet; I've put it in my ~/bin. > > No, that is only for initial co, after that you want to use > svn update > in the three directories!
