[Pkg-symfony-maint] Request for volunteers for symfony packaging

[Federico Giménez Nieto]

Hi, following [1] and [2] i think that this should be a straight
method for both setting up the repository and having it prepared for
new upstream versions:

-Place the upstream orig.tar.gz in a subdirectory

-Clone the (now empty) phing repository with

  git clone ssh://<your-user>@git.debian.org/git/pkg-symfony/phing.git

-Change to the recently created 'phing' dir

-Import the package files to the repo with

  git-import-orig -u 0.1 ../phing-0.1.orig.tar.gz

(if 0.1 is the current version)
As you have the original tarball at hand there is no need to create a
pristine-tar branch. With this, the master and upstream branch (which
will help on importing new upstream versions) are created, and the
initial commit is done.

-Add the debian files

You could commit and push without having to change from the master
branch, which is the only one needed to be pushed.

Hope this helps
Federico
