[cl-debian] StumpWM: how to convert it to darcs-buildpackage
Hello! After having discussed with the actual StumpWM [1] maintainer (Trent Buck), we decided that I'll take care of the maintenance. Now, my big question is how to convert the actual Debian package to darcs-buildpackage. As I'd like to package a new CVS checkout, I'll proceed in the same way, please correct me if I'm wrong. 1) grab the latest CVS. 2) eliminate all the CVS references from the sources. 3) use these sources as the -upstream repository. 4) create the Debian repository. 5) as a template for the debian/ folder, I'll use the old debian/ folder, the one created by the previous maintainer. 6) package the new version Is this ok? Thx, bye, Gismo / Luca [1] http://www.nongnu.org/stumpwm/

I found something really interesting: if you initialiaze a CVS source and then `darcs add *`, the CVS folder is considered as boring, so not added. In this way, I could proceed as the following: 1) initialiazed a new darcs repository with the original stumpwm sources present in unstable (stumpwm-upstream) 2) imported the debian version present in unstable (stumpwm) 3) as in the stumpwm-upstream repo the CVS folder is still present (but not recognized by darcs), I made a CVS checkout, followed by a `darcs add` for the new file and a `darcs record` 4) imported the new upstream into the stumpwm repo 5) worked on the stumpwm repo So, now StumpWM is present in the CL-Debian repository [1]. Peter, can you check if all is ok and upload the package? TIA. Thx, bye, Gismo / Luca [1] http://cl-debian.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/darcsweb.cgi?r=stumpwm;a=summary
