1 Debian packaging for youtube-dl
2 -------------------------------
3
4 # Basic building of the package
5
6 A quick summary of how one can update the Debian packaging of youtube-dl is
7 to, assuming that one already has the packages `devscripts`,
8 `git-buildpackage`, and `pristine-tar` installed:
9
10 gbp clone --all https://github.com/rbrito/pkg-youtube-dl
11 cd pkg-youtube-dl
12 gbp import-orig --pristine-tar --uscan
13 [ Make here some adaptations, like updating debian/patches, if needed ]
14 gbp buildpackage --git-pristine-tar
15
16 These are the important steps and may need to be changed according to
17 deviations, say, in the release process of upstream releases (e.g., if
18 upstream changes the location where the tarballs reside).

20 # Maintaining the repository
21
22 I keep my development of the package (in particular, the master branch) at
23 GitHub and I usually try to have my changes there, since I am not always
24 with my SSH/GPG keys at hand.
25
26 For the benefit of the co-maintainers, I keep a backup copy of the changes
27 at git.debian.org, where, due to said keys not being available at all times,
28 I can't push my changes, which leads, sometimes to my GitHub repository to
29 be ahead of the Debian mirror.
30
31 I prefer that, if possible, when working with the master branch:
32
33 * Please, check if I don't have changes already made at:
34
35 https://github.com/rbrito/pkg-youtube-dl
36
37 * People send me pull requests there
38
39 * If they are not comfortable with the use of GitHub for any kind of reason
40 (political, ideological etc.), that they send me patches via email (git
41 send-email is best).
42
43 This can be sent to my personal email or to the Debian BTS. I'm flexible.
44
45 Of course, if it is not possible to coordinate in the way described above,
46 alas... :-(
