A classical Debian package is always composed by a source package (the combination of the upstream source code and the Debian-specific metadata and scripts, i.e. the /debian repository) and a binary package (the .deb you would install on your system). If a specific upstream source has been uploaded to the repository, and changes are made to the Debian-specific bits, the upstream tarball would not be changed but a new version of the /debian files will be created, along with a new version of the binary package. If a new upstream version is released, the new upstream tarball along with an updated /debian folder is uploaded, and also the new binary package.
Does that answer your question? +Emilien 2014-10-08 16:48 GMT+02:00 Amul Shah <[email protected]>: > Andreas (or anyone else with the answer :), > When we request an upload of the fis-gtm package, does that imply the > creation of a source package?
