Suite to help with maintaining [Debian](http://www.debian.org) packages in [Git](http://git-scm.com) repositories.

[[!toc]]

### Tools
GBP ships the following tools:

* *git-import-{dsc,dscs}*: import existing Debian source packages into a git repository
* *git-import-orig*: import a new upstream version into the git repository
* *git-buildpackage*: build a package out of a git repository, check for local modifications and tag appropriately
* *git-dch*: generate Debian changelog entries from Git commit messages

There are some helpers in */usr/share/doc/git-buildpackage/examples/*:

* *gbp-cowbuilder-sid*: ease using [[!debpkg cowdancer desc=cowbuilder]] with git-buildpackage
* *gbp-posttag-push*: posttag hook for git-buildpackage to push out the necessary changes to a remote repository after a releasse
* *gbp-pq*: maintain *debian/patches* on a patch queue branch

### Documentation
* git-buildpackage's [official manual](http://honk.sigxcpu.org/projects/git-buildpackage/manual-html/gbp.html).
* A possible workflow for maintaining [[development/debian packages in git]].

### Source Code
The source code is available via git (of course):
    
    git clone http://honk.sigxcpu.org/git/git-buildpackage.git

You can browse the source code online via [git.debian.org](http://git.debian.org/?p=users/agx/git-buildpackage.git;a=summary).

### Debian packages
Debian packages of git-buildpackage can be downloaded from the [[!debpkg git-buildpackage desc="Debian Archive"]]. Newer snapshots are sometimes available [here](http://honk.sigxcpu.org/projects/git-buildpackage/snapshots/).

### Bugreports
For enhancements and feauture requests you can either use the [Debian bugtracking system](http://bugs.debian.org) or email [me](mailto:agx@sigxcpu.org) directly.

### Todo
* use git-fast-import in git-import-dsc(s) ([[!debbug 506211]])
* templating for git-dch ([[!debbug 536719]]. [[!debbug 529332]])
* add gbp-{pull,clone} ([[!debbug 540185]])
* [[!debbug git-buildpackage desc="bugs"]] filed in the Debian bugtracking system
