Hi, It's probably somehow obvious, but I can't find anywhere what the
process is to create/request a new package repo.

For my my python app (gitlab-emulator) I'm happy to put the debian
package build scripting in my repo. Would the salsa package simply be
a synchronised mirror of the upstream repo?

Thanks

Ian

To request a new package you must use reportbug to create a bug against the fake package "wnpp".

Then you must choose RFP and hope that someone will be interested to package it.

Otherwise you can open an ITP and package it yourself, and then ask for a sponsor to upload it.

In general the idea is that the debian/ directory isn't part of your project.

What I usually do is that I keep it on the same repository as the project, but the .tar.gz doesn't include it, so dpkg doesn't know I keep it there.

You should probably start here: https://wiki.debian.org/HowToPackageForDebian

Packages are built with dpkg-buildpackage.

Thanks Salvo, I will submit an ITP soon.

For the actual build, since salsa is gitlab are we able to have the
packaging project build the deb there? I have seen that some packages
seem to do this but there isn't much consistency. Is there a good
package repo under https://salsa.debian.org/python-team/packages/ to
use as a "preferred way" example?

Yes. A package under the Debian python team will be well maintained.
But you first to ask for to join the Debian python team : https://wiki.debian.org/Teams/PythonTeam

Then you can package it and send RFS on this email list or put the package into topic of #debian-python channel on OFTC.

BR,
Bo
