====== How to package a git upstream snapshot with git-buildpackage ======

=== Prerequisites ===

Let us assume we want package the last upstream git snapshot of **gedit-latex** using git-buildpackage.

The upstream repo is at
   git://git.gnome.org/gedit-latex
and you want to package current state of branch "**master**".
The packaging repo is at
   git://anonscm.debian.org/collab-maint/gedit-latex.git
and the packaging work is done in branch "**master**".

If there is no packaging repo, just [[http://honk.sigxcpu.org/projects/git-buildpackage/manual-html/gbp.import.html#GBP.IMPORT.EXISTING|create one]]!

=== Steps ===

   * Clone packaging repo (if not already present locally):

  git clone git://anonscm.debian.org/collab-maint/gedit-latex.git
  cd gedit-latex

  * Fetch required upstream branch (calling it something different than "//master//"!):

  git remote add uprepo git://git.gnome.org/gedit-latex
  git fetch uprepo
  git branch upsnap --track uprepo/master

  * Apply any change you may need to the Debian packaging you may need:

  git branch debsnap 
  git checkout debsnap
  ...

  * You may now want to edit the (or add a new ) the last debian/changelog entry:

  git-dch --debian-branch=debsnap --snapshot
  
(or "**--release**" if your intention is to publish this package)... and then edit it, mentioning the upstream snapshot you are packacing:

  git show upsnap | head -n 1
  gedit debian/changelog
  ...
  git commit debian/changelog -m "Packaging `git show upsnap | head -n 1`"

  * Finally, build it:

  git-buildpackage --git-upstream-branch=upsnap --git-debian-branch=debsnap
