In my experience as an upstream developer, it makes my life easier if you put your upstream source where ever you already have it and the Debian packaging on Salsa. If you use gbp, importing each new upstream release can be as simple as: gbp import-orig uscan dch gbp buildpackage gbp tag gbp push I wrote an email a while back that explains a bit about how gbp works. https://lists.debian.org/debian-mentors/2024/09/msg00057.html In addition, placing the Debian packaging on Salsa lets you use Salsa CI, which catches a lot of problems before release, like the missing build flags. https://qa.debian.org/bls/packages/s/subnetcalc.html -- Soren Stoutner soren@debian.org
