• Questions about inconsistencies in the documentation

    From Soren Stoutner@21:1/5 to Debian Python on Mon Sep 16 13:59:09 2024
    While reading over the documentation I noticed a couple of inconsistencies.

    1.
    https://salsa.debian.org/python-team/tools/python-modules/blob/master/ policy.rst

    "All team members should of course follow the main discussion list: debian-python@lists.debian.org

    "Team members who have broad interest should subscribe to the mailing list debian-python@lists.debian.org whereas members who are only interested in some packages should use the Package Tracking System to follow the packages."

    I am already subscribed to the list, so I am not concerned about this personally. But it seems like we ought to pick one recommendation on this subject.

    2.
    https://salsa.debian.org/python-team/tools/python-modules/blob/master/ policy.rst

    "debian/master - The Debianized upstream source directory.”

    https://wiki.debian.org/Python/GitPackaging

    "debian/main (formerly debian/master) - The Debianized upstream source directory.”

    "To prove that all the branches got pushed correctly, in this fresh clone, checkout the debian/master”

    "You will need to push the debian/master branch”

    "Set debian-branch value to debian/master in debian/gbp.conf”

    "Commit to debian/master branch (use git branch -m master debian/master to rename the branch).”

    "Update .git/config branch debian/master to refer to merge = refs/heads/debian/ master.”

    "On Salsa, set the default branch to the new debian/master branch.”

    “debian-branch=debian/master”

    etc. (there are quite a few other references to debian/master).

    I am uncertain whether debian/master or debian/main is recommended.
