OK > Should I upload this as a git somewhere? Yes, and I could create a git repository at Salsa. ( https://salsa.debian.org ) So, that means there are (at least) two paths to a git repository where the debian tarball for hyx can live. Both paths are fine with me. @Russell I make it your call. Please respond with an option from something along: * Stappers: Yes, a git repo at Salsa is fine. Create one * There is now ${GIT_REPO_URL} * I prefer the old days approach when the debian directory was "maintainer pet thing". (AFAIK this is still valid) * I choose ...... > The original project has no version control. That is fine. Upstream provides tarballs. Thing that could be improved is that https://yx7.cc/code/hyx/ would has an index. Something that allows to see that a new upstream version is available. (It is what debian utility `uscan` does.) Regards Geert Stappers * Tried (the packaged) `hyx` * Willing to upload it into Debian * Discussing if and where a hyx debian directory VCS repository * Added upstream author, Lorenz Panny, to 'To: ' * Referenced https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1004832 for Lorenz -- Silence is hard to parse
