A random collection of scripts that has proven useful while working on Debian pkg-gnome team.
This is a helper script to run svn-buildpackage under pbuilder/cowbuilder with a set of hooks to simplify some tasks.
You'll need to edit the script:
- Replace "/path/to/pbuilder-hooks/" with correct path to the included "pbuilder-hooks" directory.
- drop the "--pbuilder cowbuilder" if you prefer plain pbuilder over cowbuilder.
This script and the included pbuilder-hooks was originally received from "pochu" and has seen some changes since.
A simple helper script to check things out from pkg-gnome. Run it for help output for arguments.
Normally you'd use 'debcheckout [-a] ...' which is a better and more generic tool, but this script can be useful eg. when Vcs-Svn field is not up to date in the package currently in the Debian archive, etc.
Copies the unstable svn branch into an experimental branch. Run it for help output for arguments.
Removes the unstable branch and moves the experimental branch in place of the (previously removed) unstable branch.
Please make sure you've manually merged all potential changes done on the unstable branch into the experimental branch (which might have happened since the experimental one was branched from unstable).
This script is supposed to be run while your current working directory is a checkout of the experimental branch. It takes no arguments but looks the information up from the existing working copy.
A helper script to run git-buildpackage under pbuilder/cowbuilder hooked up to the included "pbuilder-hooks" (see svnbp). Either symlink ~/.pbuilder-hooks to where you keep the included "pbuilder-hooks", or change the script to use correct path.
This script will do some name-based guessing to try to figure out which branch is the debian branch, which one is the upstream and if we should enable pristine-tar support. Normally your package would have a debian/gbp.conf which specifies all of this explicitly, but if one is lacking this script can help.
