The version numbers should be considered as examples.
Debian upstream version
-----------------------
Previous commercial release was 6.0.0.
Next commercial release should be 6.0.1.
All builds preparing 6.0.1 are numbered 6.0.1w (w stands for wavefront).
The "GPL 2014" release is based on one of the 6.0.1w builds.
GTKAda-3 is not packaged in Debian, so the current package relies on
the last 5.3.0w svn snapshot before the switch from GTKAda-2 to
GTKAda-3. It is versioned 5.3.
Latest upstream release
-----------------------
- browse to http://libre.adacore.com/download/
- select "Free Software or Academic Development"
- click on "Build your download package"
- select any platform and "GNAT GPL 2014"
- select "GNAT Ada GPL 2014" then "Sources"
- click on the gps-6.0.1-src.tgz-src.tgz hyperlink (not the toggle button)
Structure of the version control system
---------------------------------------
All work on GNAT GPS source is maintained via the Monotone version
control system, and browsable at http://www.ada-france.org:8081. The
"mtn" command used below is available in the "monotone" Debian
package.
You may either create an empty Monotone database
# mtn -d $db db init
or use an existing one.
You may download the current upstream source from Adacore in branch
# upstream_branch=com.adacore.gps
This branch is a mirror of upstream's Subversion repository and
contains the pristine upstream sources. AdaCore publish only the
trunk; their release branches are private.
As such, the Adacore source does not conform to Debian Free Software
Guidelines. A version following the DFSG is maintained in
parallel in branch
# dfsg_branch=com.adacore.gps.debian
This is the branch that the Debian maintainers use to produce the
.orig.tar.gz. The changes between upstream and this branch are:
* Removal of unnecessary .cvsignore and similar files.
* Removal of execute permission on all text files
* Plucking some bug fixes from the trunk, as detailed in
debian/changelog, in an attempt to reconstruct upstream's private
release branch.
* Clarify the GPL license, as some docs or source headers carry the
license granted by AdaCore when selling the code. This license does
not apply for th GPL releases.
* Remove embedded code copies of external libraries like
templates-parser.
A script used to apply some of these changes to 5.3 can be found in
merge_upstream_into_dfsg. It can probably only be useful as a draft
when packaging next upstream release.
Similarly to the upstream sources, the Debian packaging scripts and
patches (like this very file) are also in monotone, in a branch
separate from the upstream sources.
# debian_branch=org.debian.gnat-gps
Use of the version control system
---------------------------------
Download the branches from the server to your database. The first
time you contact this server, monotone will show its key. You should
check that it matches f8a11727e8983cf9083c08c6a2acaa27e439dd39.
# server=www.ada-france.org
# mtn -d $db pull mtn://$server?$upstream_branch
# mtn -d $db pull mtn://$server?$dfsg_branch
# mtn -d $db pull mtn://$server?$debian_branch
Recreate the orig archive from the head of $dfsg branch.
# mtn -d $db checkout -r h:$dfsg_branch gnat-gps-5.3.orig
# tar caf gnat-gps_5.3.orig.tar.xz gnat-gps-5.3.orig --exclude=_MTN
# rm -fr gnat-gps-5.3.orig
Create a workspace with the head of debian branch.
# tar xf gnat-gps_5.3.orig.tar.xz
# cd gnat-gps-5.3
# mtn -d $db checkout -r h:$debian_branch .
Build the package
# debuild
Beware that:
- mtn status does not list all changes. Try "mtn list missing", "mtn
list unknown", "mtn list ignored" and "mtn status" to get the
equivalent of "git status".
- Monotone will detect changes outside debian/ caused by patches.
Always "quilt pop -a" when preparing a commit.
