IMO, and from discussions in the Debian Perl Group, the blocker is
the conversion of existing repos, both on salsa (which should be
doable via the API as suggested in the sketches mentioned above) and

on the upstream/ → upstream/latest change].

I want to echo this pain. When changing the layout it seems almost
better to start from scratch.

I have in the past found it confusing how to handle it, but now I find
it tolerable (and don't recognize the "better to start from scratch"
judgement), after I figured out (as also hinted at in one of the links
by gregor) that you need to do the following, in that order:

   1. unlock branch "upstream" on salsa

   2. rename branch "upstream" → "upstream/latest" on salsa (or delete it)

rename branch in salsa would be very handy, i searched for it when i

do it please?

converted some repositories but i didn't find it, can you tell me how to

I cannot (I sloppily drop the branch and the republish a moment later),
but please see the links mentioned by Gregor.

I tried using salsa cli tool from Gregor link but rename of upstream branch failed.

I did this trying on one project:

salsa --group cinnamon-team protect_branch xapp master no

salsa --group cinnamon-team protect_branch xapp debian/latest m d




salsa info: cinnamon-team id is 2992
salsa info: Project xapp => cinnamon-team/xapp
salsa info: cinnamon-team/xapp id is 17710
salsa info: Configuring xapp
salsa warn: Branch rename has failed for xapp

salsa --verbose --group cinnamon-team rename_branch xapp --source-branch=master --dest-branch=debian/latest # this failed to delete master, changed default branch from salsa website (in Settings->Repository) and deleted master branch (from website) # after these the conversion from master to debian/latest seems correct, rename of upstream branch instead fails salsa --verbose --no-fail --group cinnamon-team rename_branch xapp --source-branch=upstream --dest-branch=upstream/latest salsa info: Error POSTing https://salsa.debian.org/api/v4/projects/17710/repository/branches (HTTP 400): Bad Request {"message":"Failed to create branch 'upstream/late... at /usr/share/perl5/Devscripts/Salsa/rename_branch.pm line 26.

Someone had rename of upstream branch working?

Error above on Sid with devscripts 2.23.7 but I tried also on older system

fixed doing this workaround:

salsa --verbose --no-fail --group cinnamon-team rename_branch xapp --source-branch=upstream --dest-branch=upstream-tmp salsa --verbose --no-fail --group cinnamon-team rename_branch xapp --source-branch=upstream-tmp --dest-branch=upstream/latest after saw this (https://gobby.debian.org/export/Teams/Perl/new-branch-layout) probably with --rename-head can avoid error on master delete and make the procedure faster (not tested now)
