Hi,
i want to ask if it's possible to remove the debian-directory from the git
source.
Reasons:
- the debian/control files is outdated. packages like libedataserver-dev
does not exist anymore in debian squeeze
- david bremner works on a much better packed version of syncevolution (see
git://git.debian.org/collab-maint/syncevolution.git )
- i try to set up a daily build on launchpad for syncevolution but that does
not work (or i don't know how) with a already existing debian-dir
Any reasons why the debian-dir should exist?
Cheers,
Tom

Ove Kaaven is using it for the Maemo 5 port. As he is also contributing
code, so it makes sense to do change tracking of everything in one
place.
But I suppose we could rename the dir to "debian-maemo5", with a
"debian" symlink set manually by Ove when needed. Ove, does that work?

Actually I'd be fine with removing it from the upstream source. The
debian/ dir used in the Maemo5 packages is modified quite a bit, and
those changes were never (actively) merged back upstream (they're too
platform-specific for that to make much sense). So it would not have any
negative consequences for me - I've maintained my own debian/ in my own
git so far, and I'd just continue to do so.
(And the Maemo version of debian/ would not become unavailable, anyway;
if someone else were to need it sometime in the future, they could
always get it from the latest source package at packages.maemo.org.)

Okay, done:
commit b51e4072ef241c625264fcfd5ccb1282e9b65a65
Author: Patrick Ohly <patrick.ohly(a)intel.com>
Date: Fri Jan 7 09:29:31 2011 +0100
packaging: removed obsolete "debian" directory
The reason for removing it is that it breaks the daily build in
Launchpad (see "[SyncEvolution] remove debian/ dir from source").
It wasn't used anymore except in Ove's branch for Maemo 5. Should the
files be needed again in git, then the directory should be renamed.
The
debian/ dir used in the Maemo5 packages is modified quite a bit, and
those changes were never (actively) merged back upstream (they're too
platform-specific for that to make much sense). So it would not have any
negative consequences for me - I've maintained my own debian/ in my own
git so far, and I'd just continue to do so.
That reminds me: do you publish your git repo somewhere? It would make
sense to merge back your changes into the main repo at least once in a
while.

The only place anyone can get my git repo would be from inside my
tarballs at http://people.debian.org/~ovek/maemo/ (the tarballs uploaded
to maemo.org intentionally do not contain it)
Now, it appears that the syncevolution 1.0 tarball I put up there is
accidentally the wrong one (the stripped one I made for maemo.org), but
anyway, that's where it's supposed to be. I've made sure that the 1.1.1
tarball I've put up does contain my git repo...
