+Source package information for MPlayer
+--------------------------------------
 
-The source tarball for daily snapshots is now downloaded from launchpad:
-https://launchpad.net/~motumedia/+archive/mplayer-daily/+packages
+ * To download a revision from subversion:
+   - Make sure the latest changelog entry points to a valid official version
+     and adds the desired subversion revision.
+     Example:
+      mplayer (2:1.1.1+svn99999-1) UNRELEASED; urgency=medium
+     This will download subversion revision 99999 from trunk and says that the
+     latest official release is 1.1.1.
+   - Run
+     debian/rules get-orig-source
 
-The tarballs are generated from SVN via a cronjob, and contain a copy of
-Libav instead of FFmpeg. When updating to new upstream version, make
-sure that you rename the tarball to mach the debian versioning scheme.
+ * Upstream provides DOCS/tech/release.sh which they use to generate their
+   official releases. This file downloads a MPlayer revision from svn, creates
+   a VERSION file (if needed), generates the HTML docs, downloads the complete
+   source of FFmpeg and makes a tarball of these. The get-orig-source routine
+   downloads the MPlayer revision, generates a VERSION file (if needed) and only
+   downloads libavutil/x86/asm.h from FFmpeg. The complete source of FFmpeg is
+   not needed and the HTML documentation gets generated during compilation.

-The sources of this mplayer package have some parts removed!
-
-* In particular, the internal libdvdcss library was deleted, so the mplayer
-  package provided by Debian is unable to play encrypted DVDs. If you want to
-  play encrypted DVDs (i.e. almost all available Video-DVDs), please follow
-  the instructions in /usr/share/doc/libdvdread3/README.Debian on how to
-  obtain the necessary libdvdcss2 package.
