Right. That has been a sort of long-term goal ;-)
For historical reasons, aptitude is a non-native package. We have a
combined gbp and upstream setup at the moment:
- master (“upstream” development)
- upstream (merged from master via git-import-orig)
- debian (merged from upstream)
[I have a local branch, stable-0.6, which is split from master at .8.
This is the branch I want to replace master with; it has no debian/
directory.]
I had planned to merge debian to master after Wheezy, making this a
native package, and drop the upstream and debian branches. Perhaps
instead of waiting I should just do both now, creating the wheezy/sid
branches and forget about master.
