Development Series
|
|
------------------
|
|
|
|
For the current development series, we don't cherry-pick upstream commits but
|
|
rather rebase onto latest upstream. Whenever a rebase is performed, a new
|
|
orig tarball needs to be generated and uploaded to the archive as part of the
|
|
source package upload.
|
|
|
|
The following are the steps to rebase onto latest upstream and create a new
|
|
source package.
|
|
|
|
1) $ debian/scripts/rebase-upstream
|
|
|
|
Rebases onto latest upstream/main, updates the content of debian/upstream and
|
|
creates a rebase commit.
|
|
|
|
2) $ debian/scripts/create-orig-tarball
|
|
|
|
Creates a new orig tarball, using the upstream commit and version from
|
|
debian/upstream.
|
|
|
|
3) $ debian/scripts/close-release
|
|
|
|
Creates a new changelog entry with all changes since the last release. Commits
|
|
the changelog and tags the commit. The new package version is generated
|
|
automatically from the upstream version.
|
|
|
|
4) $ debian/scripts/build-package -S -us -uc
|
|
|
|
Creates a new (unsigned) source package.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Stable Series
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
Stable series are not rebased to latest upstream but instead only receive
|
|
cherry-picked and backported commits. The development series becomes a stable
|
|
series at the time of its official release. At this time, a new development
|
|
branch should be created and an initial SRU release commit should be added to
|
|
the branch of the just released series:
|
|
|
|
1) $ debian/scripts/open-sru
|
|
|
|
This creates a dummy initial release commit with a package version ending in
|
|
.0 which prevents future rebases and serves as a starting point for future
|
|
SRU release.
