[Stéphane Glondu]

Hello,

My name is Stéphane Glondu. I've been using Debian for many years, and 
I've been contributing to Debian for one year now. I am DM (and in NM 
process). I work mainly in the Debian OCaml Team¹.

I am interested in this list because I am interested in issues raised by 
packaging, and, more generally, in VCSs. I am familiar with packaging 
with subversion (as member of the OCaml Team) and git. Our team is 
slowly migrating to git packaging². In this context, I've migrated many 
repositories of Debian packages from svn to git with the help of a 
(quite dirty, I must admit) script of my own (I wasn't satisfied enough 
with existing ones). This was also a way to get more acquainted with svn 
and git. I still haven't adopted a clear workflow for my git packaging, 
as I am trying/using several ones.

I am also familiar with cvs (but forgetting :-) and darcs (neither of 
them for packaging). I still tend to push people into using darcs (if 
they don't use any DVCS). I am a big fan of darcs and git.
