I have few comments, but even if I didn't, please wait at least until after the weekend (or better: 7 days) so that others have time to review it and comment / propose changes. I removed everything that sounds fine to me. > +DPMT requires upstream tarballs; releases cannot be made from upstream git > +repositories directly. This is because PyPI contains upstream tarballs, and > +tarballs are what we upload to the Debian archive. I'd remove this paragraph. Releases can be made via `git archive` and I did that many times (assuming pristine-tar will still keep needed data to regenerate exact same tarball). If you meant that we don't want to keep complete upstream git history, then I agree completely, but I'd made it a "should" rather than "must". > +``gbp build-package`` is used to build the package, either as a source > package s/build-package/buildpackage/ > +for use with ``pbuilder``, ``sbuild``, etc. or as a binary package directory. gbp can use sbuild/pbuilder, here's my ~/.gbp.conf: [buildpackage] builder=sbuild > +Use the following ``git-dpm`` tag formats for the three branches named above. > +Put these lines at the *end* of your ``debian/.git-dpm`` file:: > + > + debianTag="debian/%e%v" > + patchedTag="patches/%e%v" > + upstreamTag="upstream/%e%u" I will update `py2dsp --profile dpmt ...` to do that out of the box, but even then, it's better to suggest that tool in the wiki only, I guess > +All packages which have been automatically converted from the old Subversion > +repository should already have these lines present, but you will need to add > +them for any new packages. that's something for the wiki, not policy, IMO other comment: I'm wondering about something that bit me recently: `gbp pull` instead of `git pull` - should we put that into policy or is wiki warning enough? -- Piotr Ożarowski Debian GNU/Linux Developer www.ozarowski.pl www.griffith.cc www.debian.org GPG Fingerprint: 1D2F A898 58DA AF62 1786 2DF7 AEF6 F1A2 A745 7645
