Hi Henry, and thanks for your initial work.

Unfortunately, this repository is not very useful: you committed binary
packages in (there is no need to keep them) and it doesn't follow the usual
layout.

See e.g. the pnm2ppa git packaging repository:
� � � �http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=collab-maint/pnm2ppa.git;a=shortlog

It contains one "upstream" branch; that has all the unpacked "upstream"
revisions, and a "debian" branch that gets all the debian/-related changes in;
with regular merges from the upstream branch when needed. Additionnally, there
is the pristine-tar branch that contains the pristine-tar blobs to reconstruct
the original archives from the upstream branch.�

In the pnm2ppa case, I created the git-repository from the previous source
packages: http://snapshot.debian.org/package/pnm2ppa/ and used git-import-dsc
multiple times (and in the correct order). This /should/ give you a more
convenient git repository.

Can you do that ?

Hi Didier.

Thank you for your help.

I rebuilt the git-repo and i got something like your example using�the sources from�https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pxljr�and i�used git-import-dsc to generate the tree.

let me know if it's ok or if i have to improve something in the repo.

I am following the instructions of 2 sites:�http://wiki.debian.org/Games/VCS/git#Uploading_a_package_to_the_repository�and�http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/notes/debian/git.html.
