Debian Packaging with Git
what tool and workflow is right for you?
There are at least 3 different tools (git-buildpackage, git-dpm, and gitpkg) in Debian designed to make generating Debian packages. In this tutorial I'll try to give a not too biased view of the strengths and weaknesses of these three options, and go through setting up a packaging repository including accessing upstream git and svn, using pristine-tar to keep tarballs in git, and various options for managing patches.
