sane-git is running now and is up-to-date. sane-release is a bit different.
I keep getting rejections from the PPA servers because Ubuntu already has a
1.1.1 release in jammy-updates and when I try to upload a 1.1.1 to our
sane-release PPA, the server complains that they already have a 1.1.1 in
their primary repo but it differs from the orig tar that I'm trying to
upload, a bit of a no-no for reasons that I can understand.

Our PPA process edits the tar file to add an additional file so I cannot
upload that as 1.1.1.

I will do some research tonight to:

a) figure out why we need to add a "gitdescribe" file with the release
version in it.
b) how to upload a 1.1.1 release with a modified orig file, perhaps modify
the version to something like 1.1.1-1 or somesuch.

I already talked off-list with Povilas about this weird process whereby we
use git describe to determine the version.
I know that it already causes problems for us with release artifacts on
GitLab which won't build. We need a better process I feel, and one that
will also work for the sane-git PPA.

Cheers,
Ralph
