[Pkg-mozext-maintainers] Bug#807188: uscan/mk-origtargz will be updated soon

[Osamu Aoki]

Package: mozilla-devscripts
Version: 0.39
Severity: normal

The documented method with xpi-repack does not work with the 2.15.9 or
slightly older versions (Yes, it used to work ... you can blame
devscripts fot the breakage.)

The devscripts 2.15.10 will come with the native support for xpi files
using xpi-unpack as the backend for mk-origtargz :-)  It is in the main
branch of the git repository of devscripts (2.15.10 is not yet in
unstable ....)  With 2.15.10, uscan can package a new version using
uupdate.

So please consider updating documentation etc. when you upload the
package.  (No rush.)
