glexec (0.9.6-1)

The source package of glexec consists of three upstream tarballs:

 - The main glexec sources
 - glexec-wrapper-scripts
 - mkgltempdir

The latter two are auxiliary programs to help users with some common
tasks. They have their own upstream sources, but their relatively
small size didn't warrant packaging them individually. Moreover they
are not expected to change very often.

While the usual Debian development tools can handle multiple original
sources, the development of the packaging is done in SVN, and we
heavily rely on svn-buildpackage as the first in a chain of packaging
tools. However, svn-buildpackage cannot handle multiple upstream
sources (bug #577140) so a workaround is required when starting from
the original svn packaging sources. This workaround is not required
when starting from an already packaged .dsc file.

The workaround:

   Call:

    svn-buildpackage --svn-export --svn-noninteractive
   
   It should fail and result in a partially unpacked source tree. Go
   to 

   ../build-area/glexec-0.9.6

   untar ../../tarballs/glexec_0.9.6.orig-mkgltempdir.tar.gz. Rename the
   directory to mkgltempdir (i.e. without the version number).

   Now the directory can be further treated with dpkg-buildpackage as usual.

   (the original tarballs can be obtained by running uscan
   --download-current-version)
