#!/bin/sh
set -e
if test -e debian/upstream/metadata; then
echo "debian/upstream/metadata found" >&2
exit 1
fi
upstream=`perl -ne 'if(s@.*github.com/([^/]+)/([^/#]+).*$@$1/$2@){print;exit}' debian/copyright`
if test "$upstream" = ""; then
echo "Trying control" >&2
upstream=`perl -ne 'if(s@.*github.com/([^/]+)/([^/#]+).*$@$1/$2@){print;exit}' debian/control`
fi
if test "$upstream" = ""; then
echo Not found >&2
exit 1
fi
name=${upstream#*/}
mkdir -p debian/upstream
cat >debian/upstream/metadata <<EOF
