Comment (by hamish):

 Hi,

 glad to see that progress is being made.
   https://trac.osgeo.org/qgis/log/trunk/qgis/debian/changelog

 any guidance on how we should sync DebianGIS's svn[1] with QGIS's[2]?

 [1] http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/pkg-grass/packages/qgis/trunk/debian/

 [2] https://trac.osgeo.org/qgis/browser/trunk/qgis/debian/

 maybe we could automatically pull one from the other using svn:externals?
   http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.4/svn.advanced.externals.html

 or is it desired to keep them separate? Perhaps trunk/ could be pulled
 into DebianGIS's svn automatically but for releases we copy the files and
 then sync things by hand?
 ?


 and what's with  https://trac.osgeo.org/qgis/browser/trunk/debian/
 If that is old/redundant/unused maybe it should be removed to avoid
 confusion and prevent newcomers from hacking on the wrong files.
 (my motivation to sync with the DebianGIS svn repo is to avoid duplicate
 effort)


 please let us (the DebianGIS team) know if there and any issues or advice
 that is needed, or when you think things are in good enough shape for
 review.


 thanks,
 Hamish
