reptyr for Debian
-----------------

The Debian packaging for reptyr is maintained in the debian branch of
the upstream reptyr git repository, at git://github.com/nelhage/reptyr.

I use pristine-tar to ensure that we can consistently generate the
same orig tarball for a given Debian release of reptyr. When creating
a new Debian release, use

    pristine-tar commit PATH_TO_TARBALL COMMIT-ISH

to associate a particular tarball with a particular commit on the
master branch.

When using a git snapshot for a Debian release, use the
github-generated download of the revision being snapshotted as the
orig tarball. This tarball can be fetched from the URL:

    https://github.com/nelhage/reptyr/tarball/COMMIT

and should be renamed to match the expected form of an upstream
tarball name (i.e. reptyr_VERSION.orig.tar.gz) before importing it
into pristine-tar.
