Add release branches and git-dch snapshot versioning #46

Closed dajhorn closed 12 years ago

dajhorn commented 12 years ago

A single release branch is currently used to build for all Debian and Ubuntu release series.

However, Debian has an unofficial policy that the debian/changelog file only mention versions that are generally released. This means that log entries should be folded together for distro, which cramps using a shared debian/changelog with daily builds.

It follows that automatic git-dch snapshot versioning should be used. This enhancement depends on dajhorn/pkg-zfs#45.

Debian is also including systemd in Wheezy, which means that Ubuntu will diverge further and should eventually be separately branched.

This was implemented beginning with the Quantal build series.
