Re: HTCondor 23.3.0

Hello Andreas,
Thank you for the advice on the routine-update package. I did not know that it exists.
Until such time as someone will advocate for me to become a Debian Maintainer, I will have to ask someone to sponsor my condor upload each month.
Diane does not have permission to commit directly to the condor repository. I had to commit her last change. 

Thanks again, ...Tim

I have built HTCondor 23.3.0 for Debian on Salsa.

So, I need a little guidance.

How do I get this into unstable? In the changelog, it is marked as
UNRELEASED. Do I change that to unstable or is that done by someone else?

It depends a bit from the team you are working in.  In all teams I know
the policy is that the person who does the actual upload using dput
is setting dist to unstable.


In the Alioth days, I would sign the build and upload it to mentors-ftp.
What is the procedure now that Salsa is being used?

HTCondor release cadence is monthly. So, I'll be doing this every month.
Long term, I'd like to become a Debian Maintainer so that I could upload
HTCondor versions myself.

If you have upload permissions (I think I remember Diane wanted to grant
you these permissions) just set it and dput the *_source.changes file.
If you need more details about this just ask again.  BTW, I prefer
dput-ng


Any advice is appreciated.

Another advise might be to

     sudo apt install routine-update
     routine-update

This updates the upstream source (if there is a new release) and might
do some other upgrading stuff, finally sets dist to unstable builds the
package and tags the release.

Hope this helps
     Andreas.
