[Debichem-devel] Please provide pristine-tar for libodsstream - or at least way to get upstream source (Was: Bug#959637: beads: FTBFS: build-dependency not installable: libodsstream-qt5-dev)

[Filippo Rusconi]

Greetings, Andreas,

I hope you are doing fine in these difficult times.

Thank you so much for your report. Yeah, I forgot to gbp import-orig. The git
repos I was working on did not have one, oddly enough.

I am currently fixing that issue. Will be uploading in the next minutes and
closing the bug, and pushing to salsa.

Now, the beads project depends on libodsstream, but Olivier failed to recall me
of it. So it almost certainly will fail using libodsstream because I have
totally rewritten the CMake build system. CMake dialect variable names most
probably differ in libodsstream and beads. 

I'll give a look at it.

Ciao
Filippo
