[Geert Stappers]

Package: debos
Version: 1.0.0+git20180112.6e577d4-1
Severity: wishlist


Hi,

Please consider to write down how to rebuild the package.
File  debian/README.source is the destinated place.

https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/#source-package-handling-debian-readme-source
says:
  debian/README.source may also include any other information that would
  be helpful to someone modifying the source package.

This package has a Debian revision number but there does not seem to be
an appropriate original tar file or .orig directory in the parent directory;
(expected one of debos_1.0.0+git20171222.87b0d5e.orig.tar.gz, debos_1.0.0+git20171222.87b0d5e.orig.tar.bz2,
debos_1.0.0+git20171222.87b0d5e.orig.tar.lzma,  debos_1.0.0+git20171222.87b0d5e.orig.tar.xz or debos.orig)
continue anyway? (y/n) y
