I have get a look on
ftp.debian.org and recorgnize, that this may
a developers release created from the CVS.
In this case the official way is to checkout the release from upstream
CVS and create a tarball locally. In the SPEC file you should add
a comment with a description how you have create the tarball from
upstreams's CVS.
Unfortunately upstream's CVS doesn't appear to have the version I
need. Perhaps the appended ".9" to the version is really from Debian
to keep it from going FTBFS.
Of corse there are projects which are official hosted by debian, so
you
can add a referenznce to to ftp server of the debian project.
This may looks like
Source0:
ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/<first_letter>/%{name}/...
I think this is the route I'll go. Thanks.
