No. You are confusing dgit with one particular way to use it. You can
use dgit with the maint-merge workflow mentioned above, you can use dgit
with git-dpm, and you can use dgit with gbp.

Naming convention for -doc package

2017-02-09 Thread Ghislain Vaillant
Just to get the opinion from the team,

Now that new packages are targeting the Buster cycle, and that Python 2
packages should no longer be built, how should the corresponding -doc
packages be named?

For instance, I have a source package (pytest-qt) which builds a Python
3 binary package and its corresponding documentation. Right now, they
are respectively named python3-pytest-qt and pytest-qt-doc.

Shall we keep the current python- prefix (as per Python the language,
not Python 2 the version), use a python3- prefix, or drop the prefix
(as I temporarily did)?

Thought I'd better ask than be sorry later.

Cheers,
Ghis

Announced, I don't know. But:

Unless I am missing something?

OK.  So then I gather it's effectively a layer on top of 'normal' things like 
gbp-pq or git-dpm?  What added value would it provide?

Among other things, it enables users to run 'dgit clone', and get an
up-to-date, patches-applied copy of the most recent source package.

But it seems to me that you are contemplating whether or not the team
should be using dgit. This is also not a decision that needs to be made
prior to any switch away from dgit-dpm, you can start using dgit at any
point.


Best,

How is that different/better than debcheckout?
