The Debian topgit package now provides a Makefile snippet for inclusion from
debian/rules, to facilitate the creation of a quilt series from TopGit
branches during the package build (and cleanup) step. Please refer to
- /usr/share/doc/topgit/HOWTO-tg2quilt and /usr/share/topgit/tg2quilt.mk for
- more information. You can see it in action in the topgit package itself.
+ /usr/share/doc/topgit/HOWTO-tg2quilt.gz and /usr/share/topgit/tg2quilt.mk
+ for more information. You can see it in action in the topgit package itself.
To stop the proliferation of TopGit boilerplate, which could make later
maintenance and changes more difficult, you are encouraged to make use of
quilt for source packages.
The quilt series is generated from the Git repository, using TopGit itself.
