   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... :-(
