This is a bunch of scripts to ease the development of Debian packages with git: - git-import-dsc: import an existing Debian source package into a git repository Usage: git-import-dsc dsc-file This will import the upstream source onto the upstream branch and add the Debian paches on the master branch - git-import-orig: import a new upstream version into the repository - git-debuild: build a package out of a git repository, check for local modifications and tag appropriately Usage: git-debuild [--git-ignore-new] [-git-tag] --git-ignore-new: ignore uncommited changes --git-tag: tag after building (version number is fetched from the changelog) To import new upstream sources you can use tla-load-dirs from Debian with this patch: http://honk.sigxcpu.org/unsorted-patches/tla-load-dir_git-support.diff
