Hi Alba,

uhmm, your mail endet up in my SPAM folder - one more good reason to
post to the public list to make sure your mail will be found soon by a
responsible person. [So I keep the Debian Med developer list in CC :-)]

In Debian Med we also support the option to use SVN at your preference.

While I also subscribe to the do one thing at one time I think using a
Version Control System is evident for proper Debian package maintenance.
Regarding learning Debian packaging you are really welcome in the Debian
Med team since we have a good record in teaching newcomers.  You might
like to consider joining "Mentoring of the Month"

    https://wiki.debian.org/DebianMed/MoM

and since it involves any kind of questions the usage of Git or SVN is
included. :-)

Its in the new queue but new processing is currently quite low (which is
probably due to the freeze of Jessie.  I hope that it will be faster
again after the Jessie release.)

Hope this helps

     Andreas.
