Mostly to stay up-to-date. The full benefit is certainly using the new dh7 features (and shrink down debian/rules to one-liners in come cases) and have the utilities behave in a more "modern" way. To my experience, just bump debian/compat to 7 is not invasive at all and really safe. You'll just get a lintian warning about "dh_clean -k" which you replace by "dh_prep" and voilà. > > What's the "right" command to clone the git repo? > > git clone ssh://git.debian.org/git/dbconfig-common/dbconfig-common.git > > and you should get the "sid" branch by default. OK. I'll work in that branch and commit back if I happen to do the NMU..:-)
