Re: Help with proper Debian packaging
Hello Jaime,
Thanks for responding! Yes, that's where I started, and then went
deeper into https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/developers-reference/
where I finally got lost and started wondering how complex it will
finaly get.
Currently, I use git-build-package, which is set up like this:
[DEFAULT]
upstream-branch = master
upstream-tag = 0.3.15
[git-dch]
meta = 1
This means that each time I want to update the version, I have to go
into this file and put in the future tag to build from. I also have to
manually edit the changelog. Then commit the changes and tag the
commit with the new version. This way the Travis Debian script runs
automatically with this new version every time I push a new tag to
Github and creates a package from that tag.
However, I suspect this is not a proper Debian way to do things, and I
have no doubt that if I try to submit the package I'd be tarred and
feathered for failing to follow the docs.
I'd appreciate any help you can provide!
Thanks,
Adrian
