========================================

    maintainers maintaining own package

    everyone else
      NMUers
      sponsors
      sponsees
      teams working on cross-package transitions
      BSP participants
      cross-package goals (reproducible builds)

first, 2nd group


1 dgit

treat Debian archive as a git repo

  dgit clone
  dgit fetch
  git fetch (eg, sponsee's branch)
  dgit push



2 what dgit is not

  replacement for
    git-dpm
    git-buildpackage
    git (except when fetching/pushing from/to Debianish archives)
    pristine-tar
    git-import-dsc
    git-import-dscs

  intended to be complementary to existing packaging tools


3 example non-maintainer workflows

  push demo ?

  sponsor

  diff experimental vs unstable vs wheezy


========================================
then

  maintainers how can you help
    pls use dgit push kthxbye

  what's in it for you
    directly merge/cherrypick nmus, proposed patches
    your real history visible at browse.dgit.d.o.
    your downstream dgit users will thank you
    extra check that you are uploading exactly HEAD
      (can save some dsc-based checks)

maintainer operations which change with dgit

  Need correct style of branch
    trivially true for native packages
    true for git-dpm
    true for raw git with 1.0+diff
    gbp

  Use dgit to build (-I .git)

  NOT dput, but dgit push

  NMU incorporation
    - can be done with `dgit fetch'
    - resulting git history may need fettling
    - git merge -s ours just before push




4 who should be using it right now

  source format   git workflow tool      NMUer     maintainer
                                        sponsor
                                          etc.

  1.0 native      any                    ALL        ALL

  1.0 with diff   raw git                ALL        YES *

  3.0 (quilt)     git-dpm                YES        YES *

  3.0 (quilt)     gbp                    YES        ???




future plans

DELAYED uploads

automatic sending of the NMU diff email

source-only one step push

use of the dgit git repo server (other branches and tags) for general
purpose work

more assistance for use with raw git


work needed

gbp integration
