Thank you very much for fixing the mess I made. To maintain this backport, is the following sequence of commands appropriate?: git checkout --detach --rebase debian/version-revision (make changes) git-buildpackage --git-tag git status git add (changed files, usually just debian/changelog) git push remotes/origin/jessie-backports -- Sincerely, Nicholas _______________________________________________ pkg-multimedia-maintainers mailing list pkg-multimedia-maintainers@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pkg-multimedia-maintainers
