Hi, Recently, Russ' blog post was echoed on http://planet.debian.org:
http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/journal/2013-04/001.html In that post, he describes how to combine both the "import tarball" and the "have upstream history" available in the upstream packaging branch. AFAIUI, the heavy work is implemented in git-buildpackage's --upstream-vcs-tag <tag> option. While that option is news to me, I wonder if maybe anyone else already experiments with this? Does the team feel that making it mandatory for our package would be beneficial and appropriate? -- regards, Reinhard _______________________________________________ pkg-multimedia-maintainers mailing list pkg-multimedia-maintainers@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pkg-multimedia-maintainers
