Hi Jérémy,
Thanks for taking the time to open this bug.
The very odd, and kind of kinky, git layout of python3-autobahn's salsa
repository
makes it very hard to contribute.
The layout isn't particularly odd, it's just a single branch with the
debian folder merged into upstream branch, patches un-applied. This is
more and more common in Debian. If I'm not mistaking, this is the layout
that dgit authors (ie: Ian Jackson) is using, and tag2upload last
summer, only supported that layout.
Please, per policy 4.14, document in debian/README.source what the joke is
about:
Policy 4.14 only tells about source packages, at no point it involves
using git. Not mentioning how a package is maintain under Git doesn't
make a package not policy compliant. Remember Git packaging isn't
mandatory, even though I personally think it should be. Hopefully, the
Debian project is converging toward it.
Anyways, you made me write this wiki entry, which was really overdue:
https://wiki.debian.org/OpenStack/git-tag-based-workflow
Let me know if you think it needs improvements.
Now, there's 500+ packages in the OpenStack team using that workflow and
git layout, more within the Home Assistant team, and more from other
DDs. It is my view that it isn't reasonable to maintain a
debian/README.source file on each of these packages.
> Please, per policy 4.14, document in debian/README.source what the

The branch names are against the OpenStack upstream branches, as
autobahn is maintained so that OpenStack works, following the
requirements maintained upstream. If you do not know about the upstream
OpenStack branch names, they are described here:
https://wiki.debian.org/OpenStack#OpenStack_releases_VS_Debian_releases
However, you do not need to know about them, the default branch is
always the one matching Debian unstable, and that's where one should
contribute.
It's now time to close this joke... :)
Cheers,
Thomas Goirand (zigo)
