Re: Creating packages for several distributions
Hi Mechtilde, > > Where do you have the sources? > I just uploaded the sources on salsa.debian.org/ralex/odr-audioenc I believe that the git repository is now setup (branches and tags) the way it is supposed to be as per our previous conversation. Please, note that I did not push the package to mentors.debian.net yet. I will probably do it later, once bookworm is released. Kind regards.

Re: Creating packages for several distributions
Hello Robin, Where do you have the sources? You can only upload source packages into the Debian repositorium. And I think you need a sponsor to upload it Regards Mechtilde Am 22.03.23 um 16:40 schrieb Robin ALEXANDER: debian/bullseye would be the name of the branch in my git repository and it would target the bullseye-backports distribution Le mercredi 22 mars 2023 à 16:11 +0100, Andrey Rakhmatullin a écrit : On Wed, Mar 22, 2023 at 02:42:28PM +0100, Robin Alexander wrote: * debian/bullseye: debian official repository and bullseye Not sure what is this?

debian/bullseye would be the name of the branch in my git repository and it would target the bullseye-backports distribution Le mercredi 22 mars 2023 à 16:11 +0100, Andrey Rakhmatullin a écrit : > On Wed, Mar 22, 2023 at 02:42:28PM +0100, Robin Alexander wrote: > > > > * debian/bullseye: debian official repository and bullseye > Not sure what is this?

Re: Creating packages for several distributions
Hi Mechtilde and Andrey, Got it for the official debian repository. In a nutshell: - Push to mentors once the freeze is released (ie, after bookworm is released) - Once package in unstable/testing, push a backport to stable and oldstable Got it as well for the number of versions: - Keep 1 branch per repository/distribution: * debian/latest: debian official repository and unstable * debian/bullseye: debian official repository and bullseye * odr/latest: odr repository and unstable * odr/bullseye: odr repository and bullseye Thanks. Robin ALEXANDER

For different distributions you should use different changelog entries, different version numbers and sometimes/often (depending on the package) you may have other differences. And even if you use the same changelog entry (as technically you can have anything in your 3rd-party repo) you still need to build it separately for every distribution you are targeting. I also wouldn't use the same versions for official unstable packages and 3rd-party packages targeting unstable.
Re: Creating packages for several distributions
Hello Robin, You can create a package for unstable and upload it to mentors.debian.net. There you find a description how to start. You find also more documentation under https://www.debian.org/devel/join/ It is not possible to upload directly to bullseye (stable) First you have to prepare an upload for unstable which have to go through the new queue. As we now are in freeze no new package will migrate to testing. After the release and migrating to testing it can be possible to do an backports.
