Hi,
i want to ask if it's possible to remove the debian-directory from the
git source.
Reasons:
- the debian/control files is outdated. packages
like libedataserver-dev does not exist anymore in debian squeeze
- david bremner works on a much better packed version of syncevolution
(see git://git.debian.org/collab-maint/syncevolution.git )
- i try to set up a daily build on launchpad for syncevolution but
that does not work (or i don't know how) with a already existing
debian-dir
Any reasons why the debian-dir should exist?
Ove Kaaven is using it for the Maemo 5 port. As he is also contributing
code, so it makes sense to do change tracking of everything in one
place.
But I suppose we could rename the dir to "debian-maemo5", with a
"debian" symlink set manually by Ove when needed. Ove, does that work?
Actually I'd be fine with removing it from the upstream source. The
debian/ dir used in the Maemo5 packages is modified quite a bit, and
those changes were never (actively) merged back upstream (they're too
platform-specific for that to make much sense). So it would not have any
negative consequences for me - I've maintained my own debian/ in my own
git so far, and I'd just continue to do so.
(And the Maemo version of debian/ would not become unavailable, anyway;
if someone else were to need it sometime in the future, they could
always get it from the latest source package at packages.maemo.org.)
Ove
