C.4. How to add a new package to the SVN repository

Place yourself in the directory trunk/packages of your working copy of the SVN repository. Create a directory with the same name as your source package (let's say, my-package), and subdirectories tarballs and trunk. Put the current upstream tarball in tarballs, and the current debian directory with all its relevant files in trunk. This should now look like this:


 trunk/packages/my_package
   tarballs
     my_package_1.2.3.orig.tar.gz
   trunk
     debian
       changelog
       control
       copyright
       patches
         00_list
         01_patch1.dpatch
         ...
       ...
       

If everything is in order you can do a svn add my_package from the trunk/packages directory, and eventually svn commit.
