If you're asking if everything can be maintained on one branch, the answer is that it will be easier to maintain a correct Debian package if you dedicate a branch to it. Also, when configuring a branch it's trivially easy to dedicate a different remote for the debian packaging branch. More on this later. The three most common workflows (in no particular order) are: 1. Use 'gbp import-orig --uscan' to download a tarball of the most recent upstream release, and merge that to the Debian packaging branch. 2. Merge git tags to the Debian packaging branch. 3. The "packaging branch only" approach, which only has the "debian" subdir. > 2. Do I need to create a source package? *.dsc dpkg-buildpackage, debuild, sbuild, etc. will create this for you. https://wiki.debian.org/Packaging/SourcePackage#The_definition_of_a_source_package > 3.

I know that all dependencies must be there. https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/developers-reference/tools.html#dh-make Your package will not have internet access when it is built, so all dependencies must be in debian/control. > 4.

Yes, if these are not in Debian then they will need to be packaged first. > Would be good to get reference to sample package - observe its build > configuration. I would follow the Developers Reference, use dh_make, and then compare the results with another package. Add "deb-src" lines to /etc/apt/sources.list enables easy access to source with a simple "debcheckout" or "apt source openvpn". https://wiki.debian.org/Mentors Have fun! Nicholas
