Hi,<br><br>Thanks for this information. I have placed the ft232rprog.git repository. When I clone it again locally, I cannot make the packages by typing:<br>debuild or git-buildpackage<br>because it complains about not finding the original tarball but otherwise things are okay. How should I specify the original tarball? I did not see that in the gtkwave repository.<br>
<br>I have browsed the documentation you suggested but it is hard to tell if the process has been successful. I would like a feedback loop where at some point a little message will say, "Your package is good!" but will tell me to try again until that happens.<br>
<br>I have attached a little text file documenting my work. Is there a wiki to which it can be uploaded?<br><br>Thanks again,<br>Karl Edler<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Nov 15, 2012 at 9:53 AM, أحمد المحمودي <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:aelmahmoudy@sabily.org" target="_blank">aelmahmoudy@sabily.org</a>></span> wrote:<br>

</div> If I understand correctly, you are now a member in pkg-electronics team.<br>
To create a git repository for your package run the following:<br>
<br>
$ ssh <a href="http://git.debian.org" target="_blank">git.debian.org</a><br>
$ cd /git/pkg-electronics<br>
$ ./setup-repository <repo name> <description><br>
<br>
Then exit the SSH session, and on your local git repository, add the<br>
following URL as the remote:<br>
ssh://<your_alioth_username>@<a href="http://git.debian.org/git/pkg-electronics/iverilog.git" target="_blank">git.debian.org/git/pkg-electronics/iverilog.git</a><br>

<br>
</div> Well, some prefer that the git repository only contains the 'debian'<br>
directory, some prefer that the whole package (ie. debian & upstream<br>
code) are in the git repository.<br>
<br>
There is also a tool called 'git-buildpackage' that would make<br>
packaging user git a better experience.<br>

<br>
</div> There is a document by pkg-perl team, which might be useful:<br>
<a href="http://pkg-perl.alioth.debian.org/git.html" target="_blank">http://pkg-perl.alioth.debian.org/git.html</a><br>
<br>
You don't need to read all of it, as we don't use 'mr' nor<br>
'dh-make-perl'<br>
