Hi Andreas, Thanks again for the pointer to the derivatives change in the Debian Med Policy. I've incorporated it for Debian GIS by referencing UbuntuGIS and OSGeo-Live explicitly. Changes to the Debian GIS policy source can be found in the pkg-grass website repository: http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=pkg-grass/website.git And I've updated the HTML version, for which the relevant sections are: - Common Git repository structures http://linuxminded.nl/tmp/pkg-grass-website/policy.html#git-repository-structures -- Other branches http://linuxminded.nl/tmp/pkg-grass-website/policy.html#git-branches - PPA for Ubuntu by UbuntuGIS http://linuxminded.nl/tmp/pkg-grass-website/policy.html#ubuntugis-ppa - Derivatives working together with Debian GIS http://linuxminded.nl/tmp/pkg-grass-website/policy.html#derivatives I still want to restructure the Packaging section to contain a packaging walkthrough for a package lifecycle similiar to the Debian Perl Group Git Guide: http://pkg-perl.alioth.debian.org/git.html Kind Regards, Bas -- GnuPG: 0xE88D4AF1 (new) / 0x77A975AD (old) _______________________________________________ UbuntuGIS mailing list [email protected] http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu http://trac.osgeo.org/ubuntugis/wiki
