Hi all,

I've created https://salsa.debian.org/ghenry/sentrypeer as an import
from my main GitHub repo.

If I wanted to follow the pattern of:

https://salsa.debian.org/pkg-voip-team/libosip2 https://salsa.debian.org/vagrant/librecast (my friends project)

How best do I start? I note the debian folder is in the repo too,
where as I have mine as a branch:

https://github.com/SentryPeer/SentryPeer/tree/debian-packaging

I can't find the answer in the mentor FAQ or dev guides listed here
(unless I have missed it):

https://mentors.debian.net/intro-maintainers/ https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/developers-reference/resources.en.html#salsa-debian-org-git-repositories-and-collaborative-development-platform
https://wiki.debian.org/Salsa/Doc

Thanks,
Gavin.

Upon further reading, I think this workflow is:

Hello,

After reading of official documentation
I have started like this:
Added DEB_SIGN_KEYID DEBEMAIL DEBFULLNAME to environment variables.
apt-get install build-essential pkg-config sbuild-debian-developer-setup dput-ng packaging-dev
Depends on packages, what you want to build:
apt install dh-acc dh-ada-library dh-apache2 dh-apparmor dh-buildinfo dh-consoledata dh-di dh-dist-zilla dh-elpa dh-exec dh-golang dh-haskell dh-kpatches dh-linktree dh-lisp dh-lua dh-make-drupal dh-make-elpa dh-make-golang dh-make-perl dh-metainit dh-ocaml dh-php dh-r dh-rebar
dh-runit dh-systemd dh-sysuser dh-virtualenv dh-xsp

sbuild-debian-developer-setup
after this I've tried to rebuild one package with

sbuild -v -d unstable

To create skeleton for you new package you can take dh_make or debmake
I decided to take a way with just debian folder in debian/master and debian/$(lsb_release -cs) branches.
dh_make --help give you a small overview about some options, for small template, it should be enough:
dh_make -s -c gpl3 -p $PACKAGE_0.0.0.1
or
debmake -T -P -L -x3 -f "$DEBFULLNAME" -e "$DEBEMAIL" -p $YOUR_PACKAGENAME -u $PACKAGEVERSION -r 1 -d unstable -n
to have more templates.

Add d/watch for your package and try to check new version with
uscan --dehs
After changing debian/* files for you needs
wrap-and-sort -sav
for d/copyright licensecheck can be helpfull
enable CI/CD on salsa for debian/salsa.yml
I use a little bit modified version of salsa.yml: https://salsa.debian.org/gratuxri/check-mk-agent/-/raw/debian/master/debian/salsa-ci.yml?inline=false
add upstream/metadata with lintian-brush
add d/gbp.conf with "debian-branch = debian/master" and "overlay = true" in section [DEFAULT] for clean debian branch.
git commit
gbp import-orig --uscan
gbp dch -i
git commit
git push

Sorry, it's just small overview, how I do it.

Best Regards,
Juri Grabowski

Brilliant, thank you Juri! Did you add this to the UpstreamGuide wiki at all?

Why would it be useful on that page?

https://salsa.debian.org/pkg-voip-team/libosip2 https://salsa.debian.org/vagrant/librecast (my friends project)

These use two different workflows.
libosip2 uses gbp and gbp-import-orig, importing upstream tarballs.
librecast adds the upstream repo as a remote and merges upstream tags directly. It's not clear if it implies using gbp as there is no gbp.conf
that would set the correct upstream tag pattern.

Thanks, that wasn't clear for me.

How best do I start?

Thre are many different workflows and you need to choose one. If you
decide to use gbp you can read https://honk.sigxcpu.org/projects/git-buildpackage/manual-html/gbp.import.upstream-git.html
for some of the possible ones. I think gbp-import-orig+pristine-tar is the most popular among those.

That's the one that looks good for me. Thanks for the docs link.

For me it was like the difference between reading a computer science
book and source code. Juri's examples clearly showed the practical
steps of the workflow.

I was asking why would it be useful on the UpstreamGuide page which is explicitly for upstreams, not packagers.
