* Package name : git-ubuntu Version : 1.1 Upstream Contact: ubuntu-devel-disc...@lists.ubuntu.com * URL : https://launchpad.net/git-ubuntu * License : GPL-3 Programming Lang: Python Description : maintain an Ubuntu source package in a git tree git-ubuntu is tooling that provides unified git-based workflows for the development of Ubuntu source packages. . The git-ubuntu importer service maintains a view of the entire packaging version history of Ubuntu source packages using git repositories with a common branching and tagging scheme. The git-ubuntu CLI provides tooling and automation that understands these repositories to make the development of Ubuntu itself easier. . Since Ubuntu's packaging architecture pre-dates git, different packages have evolved to use different mechanisms to achieve the same thing. Developers had to learn them all in order to be effective when working across a wide range of packages. git-ubuntu's unification of these mechanisms allows for simpler, more general tooling, which results in faster onboarding of new developers and easier "drive-by" contributions. . git-ubuntu is useful for those inspecting, working on, or looking to contribute to Ubuntu source packages themselves. I am using this package and plan to maintain it as part of the Debian Python Team. -- Benjamin Drung Debian & Ubuntu Developer
