[Debian-med-packaging] Bug#742691: please make robust against ad-hoc (pre/post released) versions of cython

[Andreas Tille]

GRRRRR, this is

   https://lists.debian.org/debian-qa/2014/03/msg00062.html

and the bug is reported for ages (sorry, only weeks - but for me as
somebody who never was a friend of these canonical URLs this feels like
ages).  Since you want non-annonymous anyway please try

   svn checkout svn+ssh://svn.debian.org/svn/debian-med/trunk/packages/python-biom-format/trunk/

If alioth admins will not manage to fix the problem in decent time frame
I consider filing a bug report against lintian which recommends broken
URLs. :-(

Sorry for the inconvinience

        Andreas.
