I updated debian to 0.14.1.
I am also trying out a dgit-based workflow for the package, so the package uploaded to the archive is also available as https://browse.dgit.debian.org/libopencsd.git/
You can pull down the latest version with: From the archive, as tarball+diff: apt From the archive, as git repo: dgit From a URL, as tarball+diff: dget
None of this should make much difference to any of you, but this does make it much easier for people used to a git workflow to contribute to the debian package if need be. It should also mean that the debian package matches the git history of upstream much more closely.
In case anyone cares I have chosen the dgit 'merge' workflow about of about 11 possible schemes (https://wiki.debian.org/GitPackagingSurvey) (debian never has just one way of doing anything :-)
For those not familiar: dgit is a tool to provide bi-direcitonal translation between the debian archive format (.dsc, tarball and debian diff) and git repositories. Package maintainers can continue to use either system and the git/tarball views of the world are synchonised at upload.
I've also added a development view of the package on debian's gitlab instance: https://salsa.debian.org/wookey/libopencsd
I would prefer patches as patches in bug reports, but I have left the 'merge request' thingy turned on so I guess people can use that too (but I don't know how to drive it yet :-).
I reserve the right to give up with all this complicated fancy stuff and go back to uploading debianised tarballs, which is quick, simple and I understand it properly :-) but this stuff should make things a little more accessible. I'd be interested to hear if anyone actually finds it useful (nearly everyone on this list will be working with upstream primarily so rarely/never fiddle with the debian packages, I presume).
