That is essentially up to you as the package maintainer, everyone has different opinions. I personally prefer either no VCS for debian/ where I am the sole maintainer. For team-maintained packages, I like a repository containing only the contents of debian/. > Also, is it standard procedure to upload locally built packages to > mentors.d.n, > or is that not necessary if I already have hosting for the files? [4] mentors does not distribute binary packages, which is what you have uploaded to github. Some sponsors are fine interacting with random git trees but others like to use the Debian source package (.dsc), which you haven't uploaded anywhere. Personally I'd suggest uploading the source package to mentors. -- bye, pabs https://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-mentors-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
