Hello Debian Media Maintainers! I am the author of so-synth-lv2, and back in 2011, I created the initial packaging for Debian, and with the help of Alessio Treglia, got it into debian :)
At the time I created the debian packaging in the same repository as the upstream source, but the packaging was redone using exported tarballs instead: https://salsa.debian.org/multimedia-team/so-synth-lv2. Now I have a new upstream release, and I am wondering what is the best way to proceed forward: https://github.com/jeremysalwen/So-synth-LV2/releases/tag/upstream%2F1.5 I would like to keep a copy of the debian packaging in the upstream repository, but the debian repository seems to have a separate upstream branch based on exporting tarballs and reimporting them. Is this really necessary? The documentation seems to suggest that you can just have a workflow where you directly merge upstream into the debian master branch: https://wiki.debian.org/PackagingWithGit#Using_the_upstream_repo Thanks, Jeremy Salwen
