Hi,I'd like to upload a new version 4.0-beta2 of bali-phy. It decreases memory usage over the existing 3.6.1 by > 20fold in some cases.The first question I have is about using uscan with the "-beta2" suffix. I hacked the debian/watch file to make uscan recognize the tag name, but now its creating a dfsg source file called `bali-phy_4.0+dfsg.orig.tar.xz`. I suspect this should really be called `bali-phy_4.0-beta2+dfsg.orig.tar.xz`. Any guidance on how to handle -beta versions? I guess normally we may not want these, but in this case I think we do.
Probably you wouold like to do something as in https://sources.debian.org/src/gedit-plugins/44.1-2/debian/watch/?hl=2#L2for the gedit-plugins package? This was found by typing "path:debian/watch beta" in the search field of sources.debian.org. There are other packages which you could check there.
Secondly, I suppose that any new version would need to go into experimental, since we are in a hard freeze? I would like to start working on packaging for version 4 now, since some things have changed and I'd like to figure out how to deal with them now.
Yes, uploading to experimental is the right thing to do right now :)
