Re: Move libspring packaging to Git?

Good idea, let's use that feature with the most recent upstream release.

I was just using the upstream version naming convention. I did the
same with libspring-security-2.0-java package.

I do the same thing. However since the package was not ready, I prefer
to do my work on a branch named debianization and when I consider it
ready to go to the archive, first I merge that into master branch.

Since I am not able to upload new packages (I'm not a DD yet but some
day, I'm hopeful) I prefer to push to that branch only when my sponsor
uploads the tarball and it gets accepted in the archive. That's the
reason why there is not pristine-tar branch yet.

To be honest this package is 99% ready to be uploaded, I just need to
check if jar files classpath is correct. I can do this during this
week or over the next weekend.
Also, it would be nice to have a binary package named
libspring-security-aspects-java but I have not figured out yet how to
build it. However, this is not a obstacle at all (unless you need this
particular library) because this package can be added in a future
upload.
Since there is not much to do right now but you are going to be an
user of these libraries, you can join in as co-maintainer.
Cheers,
