Hi All,
I am upgrading to the recent upstream one of the extensions I am
maintaining. Finally I made a proper debian/watch file but now I need to
decide which way to go on how to keep .orig.tar.gz. I've investigated a
few packaged extensions and didn't find an answer to my question: how to
perform automatic upgrade (via uscan). The reason is that
1. There are two possible packaging schemes
a. Keep only original .xpi in the .orig.tar.gz, and extract/dpatch it
at build time.
b. Keep unzipped .xpi in .orig.tar.gz.
I was going the b. way but now I think that keeping original .xpi
would be better
2. All packages I've checked were missing debian/watch, so I could not
see how people perform upgrades. Now I need to either write my own
wrapper around svn-merge, which would be called by uscan, and it will
tar.gz the freshiest .xpi into .tar.gz and call svn-upgrade
But before I do that I thought to ask people on what they think about
a. vs b. and debian/watch config to (semi)automatically upgrade to
the most recent upstream
