git revision number for package update

Dear Finkers,

I am trying to update the fluidsynth1 package which is now available from GitHub. I came across a couple of “minor” problems which I need to iron out.

1. How can I get the revision number of the source from a git repository?

2. After package validation, I got the following warnings and error with the —build-as-nobody option

> % fink validate /opt/sw/fink/dists/local/main/finkinfo/fluidsynth1.info <http://fluidsynth1.info/>
> 
> % fink -m --build-as-nobody rebuild fluidsynth1

The source tarball is named "v2.1.1.tar.gz”. I wonder if this could be the problem?

>  % ls /opt/sw/src/fink.build
> fluidsynth1-2.1.1-1	fluidsynth1-2.1.1-2.1.1	perl5162-5.16.2-103


Attached is the package description.

I would appreciate any suggestions for improving the package description,
Many thanks,
Ebrahim
