debian/README.packaging : Notes for those interested in hacking on the Debian
subversion packages.
goals for the Debian subversion packages in roughly decreasing order of
importance:
1 - Provide high quality binary packages that work as expected in a variety of
environments.
2 - Allow for the same source package to build binaries on multiple Debian
releases.
For example, the unstable source package should compile without modification on
a stable system assuming dependancies have been satisfied.
3 - Encourage and facilitate collaboration between all interested in better
integrating subversion into Debian.
To get a copy of the latest subversion Debian packages :
svn co svn://svn.debian.org/pkg-subversion/trunk/ pkg-subversion
cd pkg-subversion && ./debian/build.sh
4 - Make it easy to upgrade to a new upstream version.
5 - Minimize the changes made to the upstream sources.
In general, upstream knows what is best for subversion. Large changes should
be accepted by upstream first; these changes will they appear in future Debian
packages when new upstream versions are packaged.
This package is gradually moving towards using cdbs when it can. This helps to
reduce the size of the debian/ dir.
