Not really. I probably should have announced it more loudly than just on IRC, sorry. The reasoning for moving the packaging to bzr (from my point of view) is that: - I find bzr much saner and simple to use. - the packaging involves moving files around and renaming them, for instance the third party JS libraries, and git doesn't really handle that correctly. Really, seriously, it doesn't. - Thorsten and I do most of the packaging work these days anyway, and I'm pretty sure Thorsten prefers bzr too :-) > I'd like to have the possibility to git clone/push or svn co/commit > the packaging stuffs and to use git in a build bot without having to > deal with bzr Two different things there: working on the packaging with a git client should be possible with the appropriate git plugin (the one that nobody took the time to try when we were evaluating the switch to a DVCS, so that we eventually switched to git because of inertia rather than because of good reasons); using git in a buildbot is irrelevant, since the only way the buildbot should be involved with the VCS is to run pull/update commands before a build. > Can i do this ? or if not, could you at least consider to fix the > build bot ? The problems in the Debian-related jobs on the buildbot seems to be that Selenium gets confused whenever there's an iframe on the page. This also happens on the -src-debian jobs, so I don't think it's related to the Debian packaging.
