Hi all, I'm posting this to -mentors since I believe it's a basic question, which may be useful also to others. I currently maintain gthumb, and I've recently uploaded a svn snapshot to testing. Now this is the situation:
$ apt-cache policy gthumb
gthumb:
Installed: 3:2.11.0~svn2319-1
Candidate: 3:2.11.0~svn2319-1
Version table:
*** 3:2.11.0~svn2319-1 0
1 http://debian.fastweb.it experimental/main Packages
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
3:2.10.8-1 0
500 http://debian.fastweb.it testing/main Packages
500 http://debian.fastweb.it unstable/main Packages
$
For the experimental upload, I've added a new changelog entry to
debian/changelog, tagging it as "experimental", created a new branch, ..., and
finally uploaded.
For the next unstable upload, should I keep both changelogs forked? Should I
merge them? The same question applies to the next experimental upload.
Secondly, I've just adopted john. The old maintainer kept 1.6.x series in
unstable, and a "1.7-2" in experimental. Now I've uploaded 1.7.2-1 into
unstable, will the experimental version disappear? Should I request its removal
(and if yes, how)?
Thanks,
David
