AFAICT it should not break anything about that, in particular: - with git-buildpackage the usage of pristine-tar is optional. However you really want to avoid creating different tarballs for the very same upstream release (as otherwise the upload will be refused by dak); to do so you might want to use anyhow pristine-tar or, IIRC and to be tested, just keep around the last tarball as git-buildpackage won't create a fresh tarball if one is in the way - which branches are used for the upstream vs debian part are options that can be specified to git-buildpackage, so you might customize them as you wish > Also, does anyone have an opinion on whether should I setup the approx.git > repo under packages/ or projects/? Erm, good question, I postulate there is no correct answer, as in this case we are effectively merging the two aspects of the project. I would personally go for packages, just because I guess the main usage of approx would be via its debian package ... > > I suggest to spawn an instance of Stephane and his migration scripts on > > the problem :-) > > I wish.
