I have currently set it up with two branches, debian-unstable and upstream. I decided one upstream branch should be sufficient, with the various upstream revisions identified by tags. I have currently loaded Ruben's dfsg orig tarball (it has modules removed). My intention for ongoing upstream revisions is to go to our upstream branch, pull from upstream's darcs repo, and tag with upstream/0.9.x+darcsYYYMMDD (so the current tag is missing a 20 from 2008). Then any necessary DFSG manipulations to the upstream source can be made, and retagged as upstream/0.9.x+darcsYYYMMDD-dfsg.1 (the .1 leaves room for any subsequent dfsg corrections). The orig tarball would be generated directly from this branch (assuming upstream never gets around to releasing an official stable tarball!) I labelled our debian branch as debian-unstable rather than just debian on account of this is how the XSF does it with the Xorg packages. I think the idea was that it makes maintenance of stable (etch, lenny etc) somewhat simpler than pushing tags back and forth. Any version destined for experimental would go in a debian-experimental branch. The code builds fine (including under pbuilder) but when I tested against my own gerris scripts it failed desperately bad. I don't know what the problem is and will worry about it next time when I have time, but till then I figured it's worth pushing out the git repo so any others can check or work on it. Cheers! Drew
