Injecting a new package
Using svn-inject
ALIOTH_USER=foo-guest DSC_FILE=bar_1.2-3.dsc svn-inject -o ${DSC_FILE} svn+ssh://${ALIOTH_USER}@svn.debian.org/svn/python-apps/packages/
Manually
ALIOTH_USER=foo-guest PACKAGE_NAME=bar svn mkdir --parents svn+ssh://${ALIOTH_USER}@svn.debian.org/svn/python-apps/packages/${PACKAGE_NAME}/trunk svn co svn+ssh://${ALIOTH_USER}@svn.debian.org/svn/python-apps/packages/${PACKAGE_NAME}/trunk ${PACKAGE_NAME} cd ${PACKAGE_NAME}/
Put your debian directory here and all the other files
mkdir debian # put other files in there svn add debian svn propset mergeWithUpstream 1 debian svn ci
Building the package
svn co svn+ssh://${ALIOTH_USER}@svn.debian.org/svn/python-apps/packages/${PACKAGE_NAME}/trunk ${PACKAGE_NAME} # or use the following if anonymous # svn co svn.debian.org/svn/python-apps/packages/${PACKAGE_NAME}/trunk ${PACKAGE_NAME} cd ${PACKAGE_NAME}/
Get the orig tarball (see how below) and put it to ../tarballs and build it :
svn-buildpackage -rfakeroot
Hint: put
alias svn-b='svn-buildpackage -rfakeroot --svn-ignore-new -uc -us'
into your ~/.bashrc and use the svn-b command to build the package with local modification and without signing to test that everything works before a commit.
How to get the tarball with upstream sources?
If the package uses a watch file (you may also try --svn-download-orig option for svn-buildpackage):
uscan --force-download --rename
Some packages need to get the DFSG-free tarball:
debian/rules get-orig-source
see debian/rules for details, usually it will download the original upstream tar.gz from the web, unpack it, delete non-free stuff and pack it again.
