--- Begin Message ---Package: devscripts Version: 2.10.43 Severity: wishlist I have a shared git repository with upstream. Upstream uses master to track his current development and releases and some other branches for current work. I got the branch debian(.*) and pristine-tar where I can do all my work for debian. Now I wanted to specify VCS-Git in my debian/control file to give the user an easy way to checkout sources of my packages and create small fixes against my current development. The problem is that there seems to be no way to say that debcheckout should checkout my debian branch instead of upstreams master branch (which is specified in the master repository's HEAD which I cannot change of course). Someone in debian-mentors suggested to use something like git://git.myserver.de/test.git#branchname but that doesn't seem to work with debcheckout nor git-clone to create branchname as my default branch. --- System information. --- Architecture: amd64 Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-1-amd64 Debian Release: 5.0 500 unstable ftp.debian.org 500 unstable debian.netcologne.de 1 experimental ftp.debian.org --- Package information. --- Depends (Version) | Installed =======================-+-=========== dpkg-dev | 1.14.23 perl | 5.10.0-18 libc6 (>= 2.7-1) | 2.7-16 --- Output from package bug script --- --- /etc/devscripts.conf --- --- ~/.devscripts --- Not present
