Please review, test, comment on, improve these branches! I'd like to merge them (and upload pkg-perl-tools to experimental) in a couple of days.I have tested `dpt upstreamvcs` and it looks to do the job just alright, e.g. on my copy of libzonemaster-ldns-perl:
Thanks for testing!
$ git branch --all * debian/latest pristine-tar upstream remotes/dgit/dgit/sid remotes/origin/debian/latest remotes/origin/pristine-tar remotes/origin/upstream remotes/upstreamvcs/HEAD -> upstreamvcs/master remotes/upstreamvcs/develop remotes/upstreamvcs/master ^^^^^^^^^^^ This looks to be a local-only change requiring no coordination whatsoever on Salsa:
Ack, this is all just about an additional local Git remote.
I mentionned a weird case on IRC with libmath-matrixreal-perl, but that was mostly because I seem to have poorly integrated the upstream branch when wrapping up the package five years ago. Running dpt upstreamvcs or dpt checkout will spawn an upstreamvcs branch which did not exist initially:
That's the whole idea of dpt-upstream{-repo,vcs} :)
And this should also happen with `mr up' with our fancy .mrconfig
(from meta.git). Did you have a chance to test this as well or can
someone else, who uses this tool, test it (with the 'upstreamvcs'
branch in meta.git)?
Therefore, I have no objections in seeing the upstreamvcs change merged in the main branch of pkg-perl-tools.
Great, thanks!
(For updating local clones it should be enough to run `dpt-upstreamvcs' in a loop over all directories for the renaming.)I have run the below command from my packages/ directory: $ for dir in */; do echo "$dir"; test "$dir" != artifacts/ || continue; cd "$dir"; dpt upstreamvcs; cd ..; sleep 5; done
Nice!
This looks to do the trick. I added some delay to avoid hammering github or other forges.
That shouldn't be necessary, as the changes only affect the local repo.
