I overhauled the Ubuntu package to use the Debian orig tarballs since we need to be able to update our vendoring at any time.
Therefore, the pristine-tar and debian/* branches are stored at https://salsa.debian.org/gnome-team/snapshot But the ubuntu/* branches are stored at https://salsa.debian.org/ubuntu-dev-team/snapshot There is also https://salsa.debian.org/ubuntu-dev-team/snapshot/-/blob/ubuntu/latest/debian/README.source The ubuntu/* branches are stored separately because the vendoring takes a very large amount of space compared to the rest of what is stored in the git repo and we want to be polite to the Debian GNOME team. It's possible to reconsider later but this should work for now. ** Changed in: gnome-snapshot (Ubuntu) Status: Triaged => Fix Released -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-snapshot in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2054163 Title: Figure out packaging repo details Status in gnome-snapshot package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: Ubuntu's gnome-snapshot packaging had to diverge from Debian's because current Rust policy for Ubuntu main requires that it be vendored. This conflicts with best practice in Debian to devendor packages. Ubuntu changes to GNOME packages are normally pushed to a separate branch in Salsa in the same repo as the Debian packages. This usually adds a slight overhead to the Debian repo in exchange for a better Ubuntu workflow and easier sharing between Debian and Ubuntu. In this case, I think the overhead is more significant. The vendor/ directory is very large. The vendored orig tarball is currently 33 megabytes. In comparison, the devendored tarball is only 1 megabyte. Every new upstream release would add permanently significantly increase the git repo size. Suggestions =========== - A "fork" of the Salsa repo, in Salsa Forks can have different names so we could name it something like https://salsa.debian.org/gnome-team/snapshot-ubuntu to preserve the existing team access.
