Hey fellow GnuPG debian maintainers--
I just converted all the GnuPG team packages [0] to the DEP-14-style
branch naming conventions:
http://dep.debian.net/deps/dep14/
This is actually very close to what we had already, so it wasn't a big
change. The main difference is that the main branch for debian package
development is "debian/master" instead of "master".
This makes it easier to keep upstream revision control history in the
same repo as debian packaging revision control history.
If we need to work an update for the current stable distribution, that
branch would be named "debian/stretch".
None of the underlying commits have changed -- just the branch labels.
So if you have these things checked out already, just be aware that you
probably want to switch over to working on the "debian/master" branch.
sorry for all the repository reorganization recently -- alioth to salsa,
and now this -- but i figure it's better to just get the band-aid ripped
off and it'll be better going forward:)
If you don't have any edits outstanding locally and you want to switch
over for any given repo, the easiest thing to do is:
git remote update --prune
git checkout debian/master
git branch -d master
Let me know if you have any questions or suggestions!
