I had intended to work on the Debian GIS policy to document the git workflow for backports (proper backports for jessie-backports, and rebuilds for UbuntuGIS & OSGeo-Live) during DebCamp & DebConf.
While I didn't travel to Cape Town to attend the events, I did sit down to finish this documentation that started some time ago. Please have a look at the new 'Backports with Git' section in the Debian GIS Policy: https://pkg-grass.alioth.debian.org/policy/packaging.html#git-backports It's an adaptation of the 'Packaging walkthrough' section documenting the workflow specific for backports. It also explicitly documents the variations for UbuntuGIS and OSGeo-Live backports. It may be worthwhile to document the procedure to setup a staging PPA for easy copying of the packages into the UbuntuGIS & OSGeo-Live PPAs by their respective admins. What do you think about the new backports documentation, and what can or should we improve or expand upon?
