Package: git-buildpackage Version: 0.4.55 Severity: wishlist
Hello, We, Debian OCaml Maintainers, have some tools related to the maintenance of our packages hosted in a Git repository. We think that they could be useful for other maintainers too. The 5 tools we would like to see integrated in the git-buildpackage package are: - dom-git-checkout foo: Checkouts the source package foo from its Git repository and tracks upstream and pristine-tar branches. It needs an additional argument which is the unix group on alioth used to find the full path of the Git repository on alioth. - dom-new-git-repo pkgname tarball: Creates a new Git repository on alioth and sets up cia and mail notifications. Again, it needs the unix group name. - dom-safe-pull: Updates the repository if it's fast-forward. Helps to keep a clean history without a lot of administrative-merges. - dom-apply-patches and dom-save-patches: they propose a way to manage patches in Git repos using quilt. It seems clear (to me) that these tools should find a better name.
