How do you handle the building of packages?
When will we see a debian/lenny package for 1.3.4?
Actually this is a question I was wondering about too. I use the
Ubuntu package which I think is a straight copy of the source tree
with a 'debian' directory in it. Would it be possible to put the
debian directory in the source tree too? That would let us build
our own packages more easily. I am pretty sure one of the core
developers is the debian maintainer (apologies if I have got this
wrong).
Hi Alex,
the Debian maintainer is not the part of the core team (however he
works for CZ.NIC, I know we are all named Ondrej...) and he doesn't
really think it's a good idea to mix and match upstream development
and Debian packaging.
But the good thing is that the Debian packaging is kept in the git as
well and can be accessed via browser at:
http://git.debian.org/?p=users/ondrej/bird.git
(there are git specific URLs for git clone access)
The packages are created using git-buildpackage tool and the
repository is kept up-to-date with still fresh and hot upstream sources.
