I think I managed to convert it to a gbp project successfully. Take a look here: https://salsa.debian.org/costela/gnome-shell-extension-system-monitor Basic steps (in a freshly cloned salsa repo): git checkout --orphan upstream git rm -rf . git commit --allow-empty -m 'initial upstream commit' git checkout -f master gbp import-orig ../<path to source tgz> gbp dch Both upstream and pristine-tar branches look clean (do not branch from master) and we can keep the repo's history. Jonathan, Samual, does that seem ok to you? Unfortunately the branch-creation involved in the process can't really be proposed via MR, so if this seems ok, one of us would have to "just do it" ;) Cheers, Leo
