The repository where i record debian packaging changes includes a full copy of the upstream repo (at least as far as what's been packaged) and that naturally includes the older tags as well: https://anonscm.debian.org/git/collab-maint/wireguard.git/refs/tags You're always welcome to pull the tags from there (the upstream takgs should all be cryptographically signed by Jason, so you can verify authenticity even if the network source is different). regards, --dkg --=-=-= Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQIzBAEBCgAdFiEEOCdgUepHf6PklTkyFJitxsGSMjcFAllDMPUACgkQFJitxsGS Mjc1Gw/9EBbT7UOPw/a7WMb1Ffi5ifjNIMO19oQWr9yPTbmoWFK1gJ+aIvoaJJXI Qud9bxB/5GTStiDAFUDpQDVdbZj7i/Cq+6JRpMSePEbiUG2AoR3zxYsJUY7LDtpa Z/WwRTFF4jpN0QzYVkKQrTykB1nWq7+Swov+c1DtSn3ytotUSZ2zlCaDF9R4OqQX QJCh8x++GrvaRdJ656G5SlubUj5n4ysHMLVkbxQD+S7kd4uQ8Or62KLmyyj4rw2/ ZrnzeJMo2MslEnE2hbZuqvUz92sUyJANtbmrZ4DR+tKbq7dszILvNOYQ+GiP0UMo h8hZSDa6BggS3UbZyrXp5BUdJ2xEkGRmK3RBxCJetJDMr8eIxB1002un8ripwe0J CjIyNWdNke0QS5bobBk6H2ooAaR0YSFXWTWtnALBAtJEXsiPUFPNIwM81FXPyn/b NQPBD7q1l5mAgTVcqj5ttZ2i7T3PDkhMrKiFT9XFV7DfMB0u/bvAG4vkDUgaPwoY z2IWMmcsqaZyUWHPBvdRYBy7BUepelSU4xso24c65Ek8y2UmQor2lze37PuwAgTF Mg7SP6f09nSo2UgmDBecqm1klL2M7AuYkSRG5VShL7oCeJJrVSeq26eqLrR7IhYf JiWjitdsRFPl/uzn5xfk4HWfURLex8kFRC54cRTajN0ifcjm1QY= =e1+y -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-=-=--
