Package: svn-buildpackage
Version: 0.6.11
Severity: wishlist
Hi,
for the utnubu team, but also for people that want to maintain local
changes to debian packages this feature would be useful:
It should be possible to treat debian source package as upstream,
including support in svn-inject and svn-upgrade. If you have a look at
http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/utnubu/packages/timer-applet/branches/ubuntu/?rev=0&sc=0
You will notice branches labled "ubuntu" next to upstream. These contain
the ubuntu versions of the package on which we base our work. Corrently,
the tagging and changes merging is done manually, but automatical
support by svn-buildpackage would greatly ease the work for the utnubu
team.
What do you think? If you don't feel like implementing it, but would
accept a patch, could you quickly outline the best way to do it, maybe
someone can do it for you.
Thanks
