So this went well, and I migrated all non-native packages to DEP-14. The migration also included renaming most other branches (for example, for backports, fasttrack, etc.) to the new layout, but there is still some cleanup to on a per-package basis. Also the script is robust and could be useful for other teams. I took special care of the packages that track upstream branches in our git (with upstream-tree = tag in gbp.conf). They should all be OK. If I broke something, I have forks of all salsa projects in my own namespace. Remaining To-Do: adjust our defaults in gem2deb, ./setup-project, etc. (I will work on that, but I'd like to conclude the work on debian/salsa-ci.yml and debian/.gitattributes first) Remaining optional To-Dos: - for each repository with additional branches, review them and cleanup - further homogeneize debian/gbp.conf across packages, so that packages that try to do the same have exactly the same file.
