work on dvb-utils - new upstream hg version

[Mark Purcell]

Thomas,

Thanks for the feedback.

I have seen arguments both ways on keeping upstream source on s.d.o, and the other teams I work with on s.d.o don't keep the upstream source as whilst individual projects would be small overall it would be quite large.

I'm happy to upload the source in this case, but what I might also do is provide an get-orig-source target to pull the relevant session from hg.

Yes, you are right, i also intended to update the package to a
hg-version, i just did not yet have the time to do so.

Yes, sounds reasonable.

I just tried to build the package and noticed that you did not commit
the upstream tarball in the tarballs directory. We put all upstream
tarballs into svn, which should not hurt svn.debian.org too much as
there are no really big tarballs.
