Hello, I found some conflicting information about the recommended branch layout and I'm wondering why that is (mistake? outdated recommendation) and what folks tend to use in practice and why. - DEP14 recommends upstream/* [1] for the *repacked* sources but says nothing about the original sources in that case - gbp manual recommends `upstream/latest` for the *original* sources, and for the repacked sources: `dfsg/latest` in one place [2] and `dfsg_clean` in another place [3] I'm leaning towards setting `upstream-branch = dfsg/latest` in debian/gbp.conf to make it a bit more visible that a repacking step is needed. But I'm wondering if I'm signing up for trouble down the road by doing this. regards, Marcin [1] https://dep-team.pages.debian.net/deps/dep14/ - section "About repacked upstream sources" [2] https://honk.sigxcpu.org/projects/git-buildpackage/manual-html/gbp.branch.naming.html [3] https://honk.sigxcpu.org/projects/git-buildpackage/manual-html/gbp.special.html#gbp.special.dfsgfree
