Hi, So a BOF happened at Debconf 11, and I've put the raw notes online at http://wiki.debian.org/GitPackagingWorkflow/DebConf11BOF My understanding of the situation is that we are ready to document a workflow including: - using git-buildpackage for basic stuff - managing several repositories with mr - managing and tracking the status of the repositories (e.g with PET) - managing patches with quilt (the "nothing fancy" approach) + additionally, using a patch-queue system (but which one?) to manage patches locally - managing debian/changelog with git-dch Some people expressed interest in starting a proper documentation on that on the Debian wiki. I suggest to use the http://wiki.debian.org/GitPackagingWorkflow (or maybe to extend the http://wiki.debian.org/PackagingWithGit page). We probably need more discussion: - on patch queue managers - on the "one-branch-per-patch" approaches Also, Raphael Hertzog mentioned that the next version of dpkg will unapply patches and remove .pc after the build, which should help with managing patches in git. - Lucas -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
