[Debian-med-packaging] Bug#1029202: snippy: Error when using snpeff 5.1

[Andreas Tille]

Hi,

since upstream is not very quick in answering to questions in issues I
had a look myself into the upstream repository and checked when the
version string was bumped to the last release of the 5.0 series which is
5.0f.  I found the commit[1] where REVISION was bumped to 'f'.  The
git log messages are usually pretty worthless "Project updated" is the
most frequently used commit comment in the whole log.

I simply checked out that commit[1], created a tarball from it and
injected it into a new packaging branch 5.0f[2].  If we might succeed
in adapting the patches we use we might be able to build a Debian
release 5.1+d+dfsg-really5.0+f-1 and check whether the bug is fixed
here.

Kind regards
   Andreas.
