Bug#153781: vcheck and uscan

[Ardo van Rangelrooij <ardo@debian.org>]

Hi,

Well, as far as I understood it 'uscan' is "dependent" on the source directory.
I was looking for a tool to simply look for upstream updates, download them
into a specific directory and call a script.  I'm using cvs-buildpackage, so
all of this has to happen "outside" the debian source directory and "inside"
'/usr/local/src/Packages' (= default for cvs-upgrade, etc.).  I might even
track new upstream versions of software that's not packaged yet.  'vcheck' is
totally independent of debian stuff and perfect;y meet my needs.

Thanks,
Ardo
