SCM/VCS
pkg-ayatana uses Bzr as VCS, to be able to merge changes back to Ubuntu as easy as possible.
Vcs-Browser: http://bzr.debian.org/loggerhead/pkg-ayatana/
Each package lives in an own bzr repository (pkg-ayatana/package) which usually should contain three branches: upstream, ubuntu and debian.
How to import a new package from Ubuntu to pkg-ayatana?
- Create a new bzr repository on Alioth:
bzr init-repo bzr+ssh://bzr.debian.org/bzr/pkg-ayatana/package
- Create a corresponding local repository:
bzr init-repo ~/Debian/pkg-ayatana/package
Create the upstream branch based on the code at launchpad (usually at lp:package):
bzr branch lp:package ~/Debian/pkg-ayatana/package/upstream
Push the upstream branch to Alioth:
cd ~/Debian/pkg-ayatana/package/upstream && bzr push --remember bzr+ssh://bzr.debian.org/bzr/pkg-ayatana/package/upstream
Create the ubuntu branch based on the code at launchpad (usually at lp:~ubuntu-desktop/package/ubuntu):
bzr branch lp:~ubuntu-desktop/package/ubuntu ~/Debian/pkg-ayatana/package/ubuntu
Push the ubuntu branch to Alioth:
cd ~/Debian/pkg-ayatana/package/ubuntu && bzr push --remember bzr+ssh://bzr.debian.org/bzr/pkg-ayatana/package/ubuntu
Create the debian branch based on the ubuntu one:
bzr branch ~/Debian/pkg-ayatana/package/ubuntu ~/Debian/pkg-ayatana/package/debian
Push the debian branch to Alioth:
cd ~/Debian/pkg-ayatana/package/deban && bzr push --remember bzr+ssh://bzr.debian.org/bzr/pkg-ayatana/package/debian
