Umm. I did not understand this at all.
I guess you shall have to explain the distinction between
native packages (source) and native packages (binary) to me.
Say, I have a native package foo. Now, foo is small, and for
the most cases the changes I upload reflect changes in the source;
and in the case there is only a packaging change, well, the debian
diff is the same order as the whole package, so it does not make any
sense to create a separate debian revision.
Now I have another package baz, which I am also upstream for.
a) I want to release baz to the whole world, not just debian, but I
do not want to create a new package whenever a debian package change
occurs
b) The package is huge, and I do not want to upload the whole
source.tar.gz whenever a packaging change occurs;
I create a orig,tar,gz, a diff.gz (containing the ./debian
dir, for the most part), and a debian revision; just packaging
changes do not cause the whole source to be uploaded, or the
``upstream'' version changed.
I don't see where the source or binary package enter the
picture here. What am I missing?
Are you saying I have
bar_1.1.tar.gz
bar_1.1.dsc
bar1_1-13_i386.deb
?
I want to have
foo_1.1.dsc
foo_1.1.tar.gz
foo_1.1_i386.deb
bar_1.1.orig.tar.gz
bar_1.1-13.dsc
bar_1.1-13.diff.gz
bar_1.1-13_i386.deb
Are we in disagreement here? What is it that you are calling a
(source) package? As I see it,
bar source == bar_1.1.orig.tar.gz + bar_1.1-13.dsc + bar_1.1-13.diff.gz?
foo source == foo_1.1.tar.gz + foo_1.1.dsc
