Re: [AD] a5 ubuntu ppa

[Tobias Hansen <thansen@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

for us it is best to have the packaging repo on the Debian servers where
all Debian developers and all members of the Debian games team can push.
You can either join the Debian games team [1] and maintain your PPA
packaging in branches of our repository (actually, 5.1 would go into a
separate repo) or clone our repository, so that
we can pull each others commits if necessary. I would advice against
maintaining the packaging in the Allegro repository, because commits to
a packaging repository are usually of a different nature that upstream
commits. I would keep an eye on a second packaging repo, but not on all
the upstream commits. We can discuss packaging related questions on the
debian-devel-games list [2].

Best regards,
Tobias
