#84524 — PSA: Renaming branches in kernel-team repositories

[Multipart message — attachments visible in raw view] — view raw

Following the branch renaming in the linux repository and discussion in
today's team meeting, I want to rename branches in other kernel-team
package repositories to follow DEP-14.

For iproute2, I plan to rename "debian/sid" to "debian/unstable" and
the other suite branches to have a "debian/" prefix.

For the following repositories, I plan to rename "master" to
"debian/latest" and the suite branches to have a "debian/" prefix:

- ethtool
- firmware-free
- firmware-nonfree
- initramfs-tools
- kernel-handbook
- klibc
- kup
- linux-base
- nfs-utils
- wireless-regdb

I believe the other package repositories are already following DEP-14.

I will wait at least a week before doing anything, in case there are
objections to the above plan.

Ben.

One of the nice things about standards is that
there are so many of them.

The only active branch apart from debian/sid is
debian/bookworm-backports, which already has the prefix. If you want
to duplicate the stale branches to add debian/ prefix there that
sounds fine, but it's unlikely they are going to see any activity,
doesn't hurt I guess, branches are cheap, and the debian/ prefix makes
sense to namespace them, so not a problem.
However, I'm not sure about sid -> unstable? What's the reason for
that? It's a lot of churn to change everything and everyone given it's
the main branch where I merge things and do all the work?

The reason is that DEP-14 specifically mentions "debian/unstable"
instead of "debian/sid", so that's what other developers are going to
expect to see.

I realise all this renaming will be disruptive, but it moves us toward
a more consistent experience for developers working across the kernel
team packages and across the whole distribution.

I will go ahead with this on Monday, possibly excluding the debian/sid
renaming in iproute2.

Any smoothly functioning technology is indistinguishable
from a rigged demo.

I've just pushed the new branches and switched the defaults myself.
