Thank you for your detailed review and your effort explaining me a lot
of tiny but important things regarding Debian packaging. Much
appreciated!
Among your changes, my favorite is your patch to force debhelper to use
pybuild.
First of all, reading the email thread back, there seems to be a bit
of miscommunication and confusion here, so I'd like to clear this up
first.
I think we can all agree that it is a good idea to have the -fb branch
in Debian. I also think that your changes to upstream's Debian
packaging are a good starting point for that. I'll post a detailed
review in response to this message later, but the changes are minimal.
My suggested course of action would therefore be the following:
- I create repositories on Alioth underneath
https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/linux-target
for configshell-fb and targetcli-fb.
- I import the latest release tarballs of both projects + the
debian/ directory from your pull request there.
- I add the changes I found during my review. (See my other email
later.)
- Ritesh adds you to that alioth group so you have commit access
there. (You'd need to tell him your Alioth guest account name.)
- We upload the -fb packages to sid. (With name -fb.) Since they
have different names as the original packages (without -fb),
this will not disrupt any users of the original packages for
now. (We can worry about a transition plan later.)
Would that be agreeable for all?
I agree with you. My alioth guest account is cvubrugier-guest.
Thanks again for your review!
(Review of the changes in a separate email.)
Again, sorry for delaying my review so long. :-(
Regards,
Christian
