Re: Help to upgrade icedtea-web

Updates: the original repository now contains 1.7.1.

I reworked the debian scripts in my fork: https://salsa.debian.org/don-vip-guest/icedtea-web/commit/ef0ea531f1ff83b12d7b6d7733a7fbfff100c3a7

It seems I now manage to build icedtea-web using "debuild -b -uc -us" in debian directory but I don't know how to install it? The packaging tutorial tells to install the package with dpkg -i but I don't see any .deb file as a result ?

Thanks a lot!
After reading some documentation I forked the repo and did the following:

git clone git@salsa.debian.org:don-vip-guest/icedtea-web.git
cd icedtea-web
git checkout origin/upstream -b upstream
git checkout origin/pristine-tar -b pristine-tar
git checkout master
gbp import-orig --uscan --pristine-tar
git push --all

then created three Merge Requests (one per branch) in this order: upstream, pristine-tar, master:
https://salsa.debian.org/java-team/icedtea-web/merge_requests

The first two seem to be correct, but the third (master) has merge conflicts, I don't understand why? I probably did something wrong.

I've migrated the Bazaar repository to Git and imported the missing
updates, you are ready to go:
