repo creation on salsa

[Attila Kovacs <attipaci@gmail.com>]

Hi!


I'm getting started with packaging, and I am following the steps on the 
DebianAstro AstropyPackagingTutorial. Well, it's for a C library, but 
the Astropy packaging tutorial was the closest I found. If there is a 
more appropriate guide for compile libs, please point me to it.

I'm at the point in the tutorial where it says to ask about repo 
creation here so it has the proper access rights. So here we go...

I'm planning to package the SuperNOVAS C/C++ astrometry library (see 
https://smithsonian.github.io/SuperNOVAS). After having put some thought 
into it, I think it will be split into 3 (possibly more) packages:

 1. 'libsupernovas' -- The runtime shared libs and data

 2. 'libsupernovas-dev' -- C headers and versionless .so links

 3. 'libsupernovas-doc' -- man pages and HTML documentation

Any and all help or advice on how to create/set up the repo(s) on salsa  
to build these packages is very welcome.

Thanks for your help in advance,


cheers,
