My small build system
I need to replace some distro packages with my improvements.
For this I need to patch the sources -- I only handle git. I need to be notified, warned, when a new version is needed.
So I patched apt to report when a switch from my version to the upstream would happen (due to "apt dist-upgrade").
In such a case I run my git-rebase-origin which rebases my feature poset (of feature branches/segments mixed into "merges") over a refreshed remote branch.
Then I run my scripts to invoke gbp(1) with a suitable version string, and create the deb packages & put them in reprepro.
the sequence of commands to maintain apt itself:
$ cd ~/git/apt/
$ git-rebase-origin
# this deduces the upstream -- base of my feature branches.

$ release
# this detects I'm building my extension of upstream debian package, so deduces the correct version, build, uploads, tags, pushes, installs.
When I only want to test some changes, I run

When I only want to test some changes, I run
$ snap
which creates a .deb package, installs it, withouth any reprepro etc.
