I have pushed a working packaging to github. It's not of release-quality, but it should serve as a proof-of-concept for building from git tags. git clone git://github.com/dannyedel/pkg-borgbackup.git gbp buildpackage -uc -us [-S/-b] Browse: https://github.com/dannyedel/pkg-borgbackup Things left to do/discuss: * Lintian notices that the binaries are not properly hardened. I've tried including /usr/share/dpkg/buildflags.mk, but enabling pie in the hardening options breaks the build on the cython files. I am not sure what's the right course of action here. * If we symlink borg to borgbackup (like the package name), lintian complains that /usr/bin/borgbackup has no manpage. Do we also symlink the manpage or is there a special syntax to say "load 'man borg' when someone types 'man borgbackup'"? Just to make clear, I don't think this packaging is ready for production use as-is. It's meant as a proof-of-concept of building from the minimal set of source files (i.e. the ones versioned in git), using debian packaged versions of cython and sphinx to re-generate the rest. If you also think that's a good idea, please use as much or as little as seems appropriate. Danny
