We keep all files of the debian subdirectory under SVN control, and upstream only as a compressed tarball. The rationale behind this is that changes to upstream files should be managed by the dpatch patch manager. Hence, all the diffs to upstream files are kept in a subdirectory of debian/, and it is not necessary to manage upstream on file-by-file basis.
The structure of the pkg-ocaml-maint SVN repository is as follows, where
generic names are indicated in square brackets [ .. ]
, and where the
contents of subdirectories not directly relevant for package management
are not detailed:
tags packages [package1] [version1] [version2] ... [package2] [version1] ... ... projects test trunk packages [package1] trunk debian tarballs [upstream-tarball-version1] [upstream-tarball-version2] ... [package2] ... policy projects tools
