[Forensics-devel] Beginning to work...

[Daniel Baumann]

Hi all :)

I've documented some parts of the proposed workflow with git and
pristine-tar, draft is located here:

http://daniel.debian.net/documents/cheatpages/maintainer.html

but...

When it comes to the point where a DD is uploading a package to the
archive, he needs to check, amongst others, upstream source integrity.
For me, it is the easiest to do when uploading the .git repository to
alioth. Especially because this is also ensuring that we don't 'waste'
manpower with useless (e.g. md5deep, see #438753) or even
undistributable packages.

Therefore, I propose that I do the initial checkins for the first couple
of packages.

Just now, there are the following packages available as git repositories:

myrescue  pgpcrack  pipebench  pipemeter  recoverdm  sgzip

whereas myrescue is ready to be uploaded, and the other ones needs
corrected debian/*. This is where you come in.. please have a look at
myrescue and adapt the others to the same 'style'. Please have also have
a look at the log of myrescue (cd myrescue && git log), and also do
small commits if possible. Remeber to *NOT* list your changes in
debian/changelog; this file will be automatically generated from git log
when the package gets uploaded.

For a general overview about best-practis on commiting, see here:

In the meanwhile, I upload further upstream sources I've got from
Christophe..

Happy hacking and sorry for all previous delays,
Daniel
