This answers the question "from where" but not "how". In "To create a new local git repository" in our policy[1] it is recommended to do svn export svn://anonscm.debian.org/svn/debian-med/trunk/package_template debian I always start with editing the debian/watch file from there and adapt it to the upstream location (here Github release). Once you adapted the debian/watch file to version=3 https://github.com/greenjava/camp/releases .*/archive/(\d[\d.-]+)\.(?:tar(?:\.gz|\.bz2)?|tgz) (untested, but should work) The "how to download" answer is simply: uscan --verbose --force-download This is beating two birds with one stone: You *test* the d/watch file and *do* the download.

Is it to me to create it ? (When I will be in the team) I could do it but I think it is better if you follow the steps described in the Debian Med policy (browse [1] a bit down for 'setup-repository').

Hmmm, I'm not sure what you really mean. Is there any problem with the code you can download from https://github.com/greenjava/camp/releases If no, just use it. If yes, what exactly is the problem and what do you mean be 'fork'? > >>The organization of the Git repository doesn't include the > >>different version, like it by example : > >>http://sourceforge.net/projects/vxl/files/vxl/ > >>What do you think about it ? > > >I'm afraid I do not understand this question.

Is d/watch > available to work with a repository containing only the source files (as > https://github.com/greenjava/camp) ? Look at the examples in the d/watch from package_template above. This works to 95% of the given repositories (at least). Kind regards Andreas.
