I am in Chicago, so one time zone over. [ And I've been here since fall of 2000. ] | but my quick howto would be (and damn you knowing how to seduce -- meanwhile | pushing few fixes ;) ) Thanks. I am mostly concerned about the possible little hidden gotchas in setup files, so appreciate the .gbp.conf. Very helpful. But I don't regularly use debcheckout, and it isn't clear to me how it would know where to go [oh, wait, VCS in debian/control, I guess -- never mind] | > cat .gbp.conf # my customization so I build in clean exported env | [git-buildpackage] | sign-tags = True | # use this for more svn-buildpackage like bahaviour: | export-dir = ../build-area/ | tarball-dir = ../tarballs/ | | debcheckout vowpal-wabbit | cd vowpal-wabbit | git checkout --track origin/debian # added now -b debian to Vcs field, so will not be needed in the future That was a related question. Say I cloned you debian/vw repo. How would I track yours and the original upstream?

Might still be useful to do quick parallel session over hangout to get me going. Finding time may an issue -- was a little under the weather and trying to catch. But me should do this. VW is way to cool :) Thanks as always, Dirk -- http://dirk.eddelbuettel.com | @eddelbuettel | e...@debian.org -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
