Jeremy,
what a number of dd's are doing with debian packages is to split the
source into two rcs projects:
"debian-control", containing the foo/debian directory, rooted at debian.
"debian-source", containing the ready to build source.
If you have a config that ties these together, some useful things can be
done.
1) You can use the log details of the source to aid in changelog version
creation.
2) commits to the source won't generally have any impact on the debian
subdir, so there is little contention.
Leveraging 2), if you setup pqm (patch queue manager), the autobuilder
can choose when to allow commits to occur to the debian subtree.
i.e. something like this:
autobuilder builds.
if ok, commit the debian dir.
run the pqm queue.
look for updates to the debian-source or debian-control dirs
if found, apply, and start a new run.
otherwise finished.
Rob
