Debian Packaging
Structure
This package is maintained on a Git repository through some important branches.
| branch | role |
|---|---|
| debian | pacman4console and the debian package source code (debian directory) |
| upstream | Everything that was on the original upstream tarball (orig.tar.gz) |
| pristine-tar | Debian original tarball |
| readme | This single file, explaining all that |
Getting Started
To start working on this package, clone this repository along with all branches:
# Cloning the entire repository
$ git clone https://github.com/alexdantas/pacman4console.debian
# For now you have only the `readme` branch
$ git branch
* readme
# But the other branches are actually "hidden"
$ git branch -a
* readme
remotes/origin/debian
remotes/origin/pristine-tar
remotes/origin/upstream
# So start working on one of them with this
# specific command:
$ git checkout -b debian origin/debian
# And by this moment you have this branch as "non-hidden"
# You can go back and forth as you like
$ git checkout -b readme
$ git checkout -b debian
Notes
- Remember that the debian is not the one you get right after cloning this repository!
- Workaround.org has a nice article on co-maintaining
a Debian package with Git and
git-buildpackage.
