Vagrant has helped me to setup building the packages and putting them into the repository, and he suggested one small change for out GIT-Packages:
debian/source/format should be set to "3.0 (native)" debian/changelog should have the version without the "-1" at the end.
Well, to be clear, I mostly suggested that as a quick and dirty hack to get to testing the apt repository setup and build environment configuration. I'd recommend actually doing proper versioning with a separate upstream tarball in the long-term...
Almost had me worried there :) Native packages are something that should be avoided, especially for things that could potentialy go back to debian.
They're really meant for stuff that only exists in/for debian. It's fine for meta packages and config files that would be useless on other distros.
The way the packages are currently set up on the repo are more built around the git-buildpackage method I'm using, it might not be ideal for a raw sbuild. gbp takes care of generating all the needed files from the git repo before it's sent to be built.
Luckily its very easy to set up the complete system. I'll write that up in my next post, after I've done some more kernel fighting.
