Hi,
I am trying to convert some of Packages to git-buildpackage and am struggling a
bit about how to do that
with an upstream branch.
You implicitly still have an upstream branch when you track upstream
git: The branch you get from upstream the tags are on. Just use that as
`upstream/latest`
No, I don't. Upstream uses different release branches for their releases e.g.
2.10.* is on releases/2.10, 2.11.* on releases 2.11.*,
while development is in master.
Hence I would need to create such a branch. I actually started with such a
branch when experimenting with another package
and the merged the upstream releases there and resolved conflicts.
Then I read that I don't need such a branch if upstream uses git. Maybe that
only holds of all releases are done
on one branch, though.
So I guess that I should create an upstream-branch to save fellow developers
from surprises.
Best,
Markus
