Fwd: how do I update a package?

[Christophe Mutricy]

Hello

> how do I update a package using git?

Usually i do:

git status on master, upstream, pristine-tar to check that it's perfectly clean
git pull
git tag and i check with http://git.d.o that i haven't forgot to push a tag.
uscan --repack   ( or wget tarball)
git checkout master
git-import-orig ../vlc_1.0.4_orig.tar.gz
giggle or git log --graph to check that it actually merged upstream in master
(depending of your version of git -buildpackage and your settings) vi
debian/changelog
Depending how many people work on the package it might be good to push now
git push --all ; git push --tag


then i modify stuff which I know need to or
git-buildpackage


If needed git add; git commit
build
test
git dch -a -S from time to time especially if i need to test
installation and upgrade from 1 vesion to another

vi debian/changelog
git commit debian/changelog
git push

Ask for sponsoring
