Debian workflow
===============

Existing package
================

Fetch all the sources of a package (origs, diffs, and dscs):
This will create :file:`source-package` directory. 

:command:`debsnap package`

Import dscs into a new git repository. This will create a git repo in :file:`package/` direcotory. 

:command:`git-import-dscs source-package/\*.dsc`

Create an Alioth repo (on git.debian.org server):

:command:`cd /git/collab-maint/`

:command:`./setup-repository package 'Debian packaging for package'`

Now move we need to tie Alioth's git repository with the one we just created:

:command:`cd package`

:command:`git remote  add alioth ssh://<username>@git.debian.org/git/collab-maint/<package>.git`

:command:`git push --all`

:command:`git push --tags`

New upstream
============

When new upstream comes, you can:

:command:`git-import-orig package.orig.tar.gz`

Now make changes in your :file:`debian/*` directory and when you are done auto generate changelog:

:command:`git-dch --auto`

When you are ready to upload:

:command:`gbp buildpackage --git-tag-only`

DFSG
====

Create dfsg source package and upload it as a new release.
