The web download includes a debian/ directory with files for building a
Debian package
Debian also keeps a separate set of files for the same purpose in the
Debian git VCS:
git.debian.org/git/collab-maint/ganglia-web.git
When importing release tarballs into the Debian VCS, it is necessary to
filter out the upstream version of the debian/* files, they don't get
used at all:
git-import-orig -u 3.5.2 --filter='debian/*'
~/Downloads/ganglia-web_3.5.2.orig.tar.gz
To simplify things and avoid duplication, debian/* could be omitted from
future gweb releases (and even removed from the git repo)
Would anyone object to that?
I believe that the main advantage of tracking these files in Debian's
git is that any Debian developer can update them and update an emergency
bug fix release at any time.
