Hi again, Cyril Brulebois <k...@debian.org> (01/11/2010): > I think it'd be nice to have a reference to the upstream git > repository in all Debian packages we maintain, so that one can just > use “debcheckout $foo $foo.git” to get the Debian packaging, and > then “tiny-shell-wrapper” to perform “git remote add upstream $url”.
I called it xsf-remote-add-upstream, and it's available in the newly-born xsf-tools.git repository: http://git.debian.org/?p=pkg-xorg/debian/xsf-tools.git That repository also contains the debgittag script, called xsf-tag (so that one can append this directory to ones $PATH). > I'm not sure we want that in debian/control (even though an X… in > front of it the field could help keeping it out of the Packages and > Sources files); an alternative could be storing that in a comment in > debian/watch. I went for debian/watch*, with this format: #git=git://$url That works with debian/watch.$util in the bundle packages we have. > (I guess we could also provide some .mrconfig file with all debian > packages we maintain, so that one could easily have the same > dir/repo layout locally. I might look at it later on.) I borrowed some of David's ideas as seen in debian/doc-hackers.git, and there's a mrconfig file available in the same repository, along with instructions to bootstrap everything: http://git.debian.org/?p=pkg-xorg/debian/xsf-tools.git;a=blob_plain;f=mrconfig.README In other news, I killed the pkg-xorg.git repository, which was empty, and moved both doc-hackers.git and git-migration.git under the debian/ directory. More documentation to come, but later. Mraw, KiBi.
