Packaging files for Varnish Cache
This repository contains the necessary scripts to package up Varnish Cache.
How to build
The flow is roughly:
- Set up the build environment. On Redhat that is mock, on Debian/Ubuntu you need sbuild.
- Put the Varnish Cache .tar.gz archive into source/.
- Run ./package-deb or ./package-rpm.
Branch structure
This repository will contain a master branch and zero or more maintenance branches.
master should be used to build the last stable release _and_ the development release, all the way up until development diverges enough that it isn't useful/possible any more.
At that point, a maintenance branch should be branched off. These should be deleted from git 12 months after the release is end of life. Before deletion, a git archive of the branch should be extracted and made public.
If you can work around branching, do it. Rather have one slightly untidy packaging ruleset, than two/three slightly different that needs to be kept in sync.
