Hi, these days we are (or ar least we should be) mostly using the experimental distribution for uploads. In that case it seems reasonable to put modifications on a git branch that is specific to that distribution. This of course also applies to other branches, like for backporting.
It would be nice if we could agree on canonical names for these branches in the git repository. Personally, I have been using "master-experimental", which is a PITA to type, but I also have seen "experimetal" which is probably less acurate but much more convenient. I suggest that we add to the dom packaging reference that branches intended for primary release into a distribution should be named like that distribution, that is experimental, squeeze, whatever-backport, etc, with the exception that the branch for sid is called master. Does that sound reasonable? In that case I would also suggest that dom-git-checkout also pulls the experimental branch when it exists. -Ralf. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
