Hi, abcm2ps package does not have any Debian VCS regarding: https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/abcm2ps But there is since few years an active upstream on github. Here are the steps that I tried:
gbp import-dsc apt:abcm2ps/sid cd abcm2ps git remote add origin https://github.com/leesavide/abcm2ps.git rm * # note that debian/ will not be remove git pull origin v8.14.1 -Xtheirs --allow-unrelated-histories I hope it is clear what I would like to obtain as an output of the previous steps: getting an adequate file set in sync with the v8.14.1 but keeping the debian/ directory from the Debian packaging from Sid. Also I would like also to be as generic as possible. For instance I do not known if it exists a git facility to retrieve the greatest version tag 'automagically' without using a previous step (to set a $-variable) or any $() expression. But then I still have some differences with a fresh clone using tag v8.14.1: Common subdirectories: abcm2ps/.git and debian/abcm2ps/.git Only in debian/abcm2ps/: debian Only in abcm2ps/: flute.fmt Only in abcm2ps/: landscape.fmt Only in abcm2ps/: musicfont.fmt Only in abcm2ps/: newfeatures.abc Only in abcm2ps/: sample.abc Only in abcm2ps/: sample2.abc Only in abcm2ps/: sample3.eps Only in abcm2ps/: voices.abc Why some files are missing? I tried to find a tutorial but no clue yet. Thanks, Patrice
