This module uses gbp and upstream git repository To update this package, first import the changes from upstream: - git fetch --all Find the latest version: VERSION=$(git describe --tags $(git rev-list '--tags=v2*' --max-count=1) | sed 's/^v//') echo $VERSION Update debian/sid branch - git checkout debian/master - git merge v$VERSION Update the debian/copyright file: - cme update dpkg-copyright See also https://github.com/dod38fr/config-model/wiki/Updating-debian-copyright-file-with-cme Check patches (and cleanup if necessary): - gbp pq rebase --commit --drop Download upstream tarball: - uscan --download --verbose --download-version $VERSION Add pristine-tar: - pristine-tar commit ../libyang_$VERSION.orig.tar.gz v$VERSION Generate a temporary changelog: - gbp dch --new-version=$VERSION-1 --snapshot --auto --commit debian/ Test the first build:: - gbp buildpackage --git-ignore-new --git-pristine-tar --git-no-purge Regenerate the symbol file (See https://qt-kde-team.pages.debian.net/symbolfiles.html) - pkgkde-symbolshelper batchpatch -v $VERSION < /buildlog See https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/maint-guide/advanced.en.html#librarysymbols and dpkg-gensymbols man page Update the changelog: - gbp dch -Ra -c Once everything is fine, build a source package and tag: - gbp buildpackage -S --git-tag Push on salsa: - gbp push For more details, see https://honk.sigxcpu.org/projects/git-buildpackage/manual-html/gbp.import.upstream-git.html#gbp.import.upstream.git.notarball Maintainer Notes (moved from README.md) ======================================= * the project version number is actually the SO ABI version. The release point numbers (0.16-r3) isn't used for Debian. * it's intentional that the SONAME is libyang.so.0.16 and not libyang.so.0. ABI compatibility is indicated by the first two numbers being equal; the third number is incremented for compatible changes. cf. CESNET/libyang#656 * the watch file doesn't work yet but the libyang people agreed to make future release tags the same as the internal version number. At that point the watch file will work. -- Ondřej Surý >, Tue, 21 Jul 2020 16:31:52 +0200
