Comment (by strk):

 One more thing I could add is using GIT when available, as the VCS, so you
 do not need access to the osgeo repository in order to create distribution
 from arbitrary revisions. I use git-svn as my primary development tool for
 postgis, so for me it's easy, and there are git mirrors on both gitlab and
 github if you want to track them for packaging.
