Re: bzr and Ubuntu: what it means for vcs-pkg (was: Re: Bazaar branches for all Ubuntu source packages available)

, on the assumption that other people might be interested to setting up something similar for their beloved Debian derivative, it just makes sense to have a choice of DVCSes. ACK / thanks for the info on the rest. Cheers. -- Stefano Zacchiroli -o- PhD in Computer Science \ PostDoc @ Univ. Paris 7

Re: Debian packaging with git and conflicts resolution

single patches to pristine upstream. However, this can open a can of worms, because it implicitly assumes that single patches are picked from the patch set. If more than one patches are desired, conflicts between them will be need to be solved by the picker. Cheers. -- Stefano Zacchiroli -o

branch is not enough as topic branches have got intertwined? (I guess this can happen fairly easily with changes evolution, unless git rebase is used). A guideline/best practice on that as well would be utterly welcome. TIA, Cheers. -- Stefano Zacchiroli -*- PhD in Computer Science \ PostDoc

which help maintainers describing their patches, e.g. lintian complaining about dpatches not commented. You loose this benefit if you go for $DVCS branches alone. Cheers. -- Stefano Zacchiroli -*- PhD in Computer Science \ PostDoc @ Univ. Paris 7 [EMAIL PROTECTED],pps.jussieu.fr,debian.org
