conservation-code for Debian
============================
Repackaged Upstream Source
--------------------------
The 'get-orig-source' target is provided to build the upstream tarball.
The problem with the upstream tarball is that there is a '._conservation_code' file in its root. This confuses 'dpkg-source -b': it tries to apply the patches at the wrong level. Curiously, nothing else breaks because of this. All '._*' files ('macos-resource-fork-file' as lintian calls them) are removed in 'get-orig-source'.
Missing d/watch
---------------
Upstream (as of 20121009) does not version the downloadable tarball. There is a change log in the main executable, with dates. The latest date is used to form the version for the repacked upstream.
A watch file will be created when upstream introduces version numbers to the name of the downloadable archive.
