notes from yesterdays meeting at debconf
The following notes are probably totally incorrect and in no way
authoritative.
** conclusions
- melpa does not use the packages versions but timestamps. That breaks
dependencies?
We don't consider melpa as a useful metadata source.
** easy decisions
- prefix: elpa- at least for those packages that use dh_elpa
if you're installing into site-list/elpa, than you should elpa-
- We use one git repository for every upstream package
- We keep the upstream source in the packaging git repository
- We'd like to set up pet for our team
- We want to have our own namespace and group for git repositories:
"pkg-emacs" (probably ask broonie@debian.org before settling)
- David wants to look into providing an --with-elpa option for dh?
** further questions
- Why doesn't the trigger mechanism work for us to byte-compile?
- What is el-get? Is it helpful for us?
