Great! > PLease do so if you would be able to spend some time on it. I'm starting on it now, but remember I only have internet access on weekends, so don't expect messages from me during the week (unless I'm home, that is). > I know that pkg-games team has a quite usual description in the wiki (as > well as others most probably, but I once followed this description > successfully). Well, I'm using git for all my personal packages, and I even retired some packages from team-maintainance because they used SVN (see: wicd from PAPT). I find that git is far more flexible than SVN, especially regarding branches :) (extra useful if you have to maintain backports, uploads to p-u, experimental, [..]) I also have a set of "helper scripts", which let me build each package for: karmic, jaunty, lenny, squeeze, sid :) (ok, Ubuntu distros might not be of interest for the team, but are when upstream asks you ;)) I will shortly post a patch to policy.xml for review. I will only write how to use git for uploads to sid -- and I will post some of my helper scripts in the thread to see whether they're worth including in the policy. Kindly, David -- . ''`.
