Folks,
I'm working towards updating the fis-gtm package. I have several TODOs for this:
- Incorporate the updated sources
- Refresh existing and apply new patches, quilt is just awesome
- Update the virtual package fis-gtm depends to V6.1-000
- Use the ARCH settings (https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v1/url?u=https://groups.google.com/d/msg/comp.lang.mumps/mH9mdI8ozQ0/n752Z_8jlJYJ&k=%2FbkpAUdJWZuiTILCq%2FFnQg%3D%3D%0A&r=KgGzFmrpr0CH7A8VRCDGC05IrYOn9XWlNRvgNmiK%2BUg%3D%0A&m=Gpqdn7yjtAWoCxI2Z%2FSz4JqQ68DJDvIxSgdNyq3HwK4%3D%0A&s=87c8999074bc2609dd6690067639fd59a3d105aa594d4222ffb18118a642bf83)
for 64bit (x86_64) and 32bit (i586) builds
- Test - I had problems with this last time and may need help
Sounds like a sensible plan.
The first question I have is what repository should I work from? For now, I cloned
https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v1/url?u=https://alioth.debian.org/anonscm/git/debian-med/fis-gtm.git&k=%2FbkpAUdJWZuiTILCq%2FFnQg%3D%3D%0A&r=KgGzFmrpr0CH7A8VRCDGC05IrYOn9XWlNRvgNmiK%2BUg%3D%0A&m=Gpqdn7yjtAWoCxI2Z%2FSz4JqQ68DJDvIxSgdNyq3HwK4%3D%0A&s=648d8cfbb56d7fbb08e87c29139afbec8be4c4de76c0f7440d7a9f55d9778557
That's annonymous. You should rather clone (or set remote origin to):
ssh://git.debian.org/git/debian-med/fis-gtm.git
Please use
git import-orig --pristine-tar <new_upstream_tarball>
(and nothing else) to do your first step (Incorporate the updated
sources). If you then try `git push` you will see whether you have
commit permissions.
I have keys established on alioth which I used to access the SVN repositories.
So you can
ssh git.debian.org ?
[amul:2] Looks like I can't from work. Doing it from home will be easier.
I started reading the Debian New Maintainers' Guide because I can't
remember a single thing about this process other than
git-buildpackage.
You need to tweak the debian/ dir between
git import-orig --pristine-tar
and
git-buildpackage
The bare minimum is to
dch -i
to create a new changelog entry.
Feel free to come up on this list with any question you might have.
Kind regards and thanks for caring for fis-gtm
Andreas.
[amul:2] Thanks for the pointers Andreas. I'm still working with the anon sources. I'll fix that later tonight.
[amul:2] I read the mail about freeze dates (https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2014/07/msg00002.html), but didn't
quite understand some terms. What is the drop dead date to get fis-gtm up to date?
Best regards, Amul
