Sorry for being confusing -- but that is the realm of things in Debian: Debian policy clearly specifies only the state of binary and source packages, but internal "housekeeping" is up for the developers/teams to decide. And having thousands of people working on Debian, and coming from different fields, use-cases and work patterns, different people/teams have different approaches on how to organize their package maintenance. Tools such as git-build-package help to standardize flows while allowing for so demanded flexibility (e.g. I use overlay setups for some projects but not the others etc) > Thank you so much > for pointing that out! > The other side of packaging docker has been understanding how to do > proper packaging of go libraries.

That all sounds great, thank you Daniel for the follow up! I am glad I could have been of help, and yes -- I do use git-buildpackage quite extensively. While we are at it I might recommend also some generic customizations I use $> cat ~/.gbp.conf [git-buildpackage] sign-tags = True # use this for more svn-buildpackage like bahaviour: export-dir = ../build-area/ tarball-dir = ../tarballs/ so -- git-buildpackage always builds for me in a clean checkout under export-dir. and signing the tags is also quite neat Cheers! -- Yaroslav O.
