Hello mentors, I would like to backport Shibboleth packages [1] to jessie and wheezy. - What branch name should I use? Documentation for git-buildpackage [2] says "debian/<release>" so that would yield "debian/jessie-backports-sloppy", but I've seen "backports/<release>" earlier so I'm unsure. - Can I push the backport branches to the repositories in [1]? - What should the changelog entry look like? "Backport to <release>"? - Are older "backport" changelog entries kept or removed when a new version is backported? The Backports contribution doc [3] says: > Backports of an updated version of a package that was backported > before may have a changelog that merges entries of backports of > previous versions, but this is not required. but I can't make sense out of this... Thanks for your help, Etienne [1] https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-shibboleth/ [2] http://honk.sigxcpu.org/projects/git-buildpackage/manual-html/gbp.import.html#GBP.BRANCH.NAMING [3] https://backports.debian.org/Contribute/
