Policy

  • One Git repository for each package
  • Branches: upstream, upstream+repack, upstream+patches, debian-sid, debian-etch, debian-lenny...
  • Use pristine-tar for upstream and Debian sources

Howto

New repo for new package

# pristine-tar upstream sources
/path/rep$ pristine-tar commit ../upstream.tar.gz

Repack upstream

# repack upstream
/path/rep$ git checkout upstream+repack
/path/rep$ sh cleanup-git.sh

Notes about migration from GNU Arch to Git

# Migration of all GNU Arch repo

# Fetch last upstream sources
/path$ wget upstream.tar.gz
/path$ tar -xvf upstream.tar.gz
/path$ mv upstream <pkg>.git
/path$ cd <pkg.git>

# Init git repo and branches
/path/<pkg>.git$ git init

/path/<pkg>.git$ git commit -m init
/path/<pkg>.git$ git branch -m master upstream
/path/<pkg>.git$ git branch upstream+patches upstream
/path/<pkg>.git$ git branch upstream+repack upstream

# pristine-tar upstream sources
/path/<pkg>.git$ pristine-tar commit ../upstream.tar.gz

# Create repack upstream sources
# (HERE IS IMPORT FROM ARCH)
cd /git/pkg-horde/archimport.git
git remote add imp4 /git/pkg-horde/imp4.git/
git push imp4 pkg-horde-hackers@lists.alioth.debian.org--2006,imp--sid--4:refs/heads/horde-sid
