Branches in the Git packaging repository
----------------------------------------
Packaging branches must NOT have any debian/patches/* applied. When diff'ing
packaging and the respective upstream branch, there must NOT be any changes
outside debian/ subdirectory.
Repository layout is as follows:
* master - the main packaging branch (upstream source and
debian directory). Typically targets Debian unstable.
* upstream - upstream source code for the master branch.
* <suitename> - packaging branch targeting Debian <suite_name>
* upstream-<suitename> - upstream source code for packaging in <suite_name>
branch.
* pristine-tar - a branch with pristine-tar deltas for original
- upstream tarballs.
* debian/<dversion> - annotated signed tags for package releases to Debian
(based on master and <suitename> branches. ~ is
replaced with -. Tag message should be of the form
'<dversion>/<suitename>'.
* upstream/<uversion> - annotated tags for upstream releases which had at least one
debian package release (based on upstream and
upstream-<suitename> branches). ~ is replaced with -.
General rules for patches in debian/patches
-------------------------------------------
- Patches are managed with `QUILT_PATCHES=debian/patches quilt`.
* Highly recommended ~/.quiltrc settings are as follows:
-------<--------->--------
QUILT_NO_DIFF_INDEX=y
QUILT_NO_DIFF_TIMESTAMPS=y
QUILT_REFRESH_ARGS="-p ab"
QUILT_DIFF_OPTS="-p"
-------<--------->--------
* All patches must have valid DEP-3 [1] headers with at least Description and
Author/Origin fields.
* Patches should follow these naming rules:
- Each patch should be prefixed with either "debian_" for Debian specific
changes, "general_" for distribution agnostic changes or "backport_" for
changes backported from future releases.
- Patch name should be rather short and meaningfully reflect nature of the
changes. "_" should be used as a word separator.
- It is recommended to suffix the patch name with either "_fix" for patches
fixing bugs or with '_feature' for patches introducing new features.
* All patches should have .diff extension.
