Hi Brad,
Another alternative would be to put the packaging right into the main
branch. If we want to the Launchpad team maintains this, why require two
pushes, where one will do?
Hi Francis,
I was curious about this too and had a chat with Barry last week. He said it
was a matter of hygiene that most projects separate their packaging so that it
is easier to release to PyPI and other places that don't care about
Debian-style packaging. I welcome other opinions.
It would be nice to keep the packaging separate for the sake of the
launchpadlib packaging in Debian, which is managed independently. Having
the debian/ directory in the upstream source can be confusing because it
causes strange diffs, and causes merge conflicts when a new upstream
version is merged in.
See also this question in the FAQ on the Debian wiki:
http://wiki.debian.org/DebianMentorsFaq#What.27s_wrong_with_upstream_shipping_a_debian.2BAC8_directory.3F
Admittedly this is less of a problem with the 3.0 source formats, but it
would still be nice to avoid it.
Cheers,
Jelmer
Any reason not to set this up on the ~launchpad team itself?
That could be done, I just picked ~lazr-developers since that team owns
lp:launchpadlib.
And FWIW, I think this discussion should be happening on launchpad-dev.
Of course it should. Thanks for the reminder.

Cheers

Hi Francis,
I've created a build recipe for launchpadlib below:
https://code.launchpad.net/~bac/+recipe/launchpadlib-daily
It uses the launchpadlib trunk as the source and a new packaging branch I
created for the /debian directory. Using this set-up, creating release
candidate PPA for launchpadlib would require the developer to get the packaging
branch and update the changelog file, which will be pretty easy even for people
who don't understand packaging.
If you like this approach, please take the recipe I have and recreate it for
~lazr-developers. A new PPA for the team will need to be created and the
recipe published to it.
