Note to Self
If you use github.com to host your projects these are two things to
remember:
* if you want a download url that is different from http://github.com/$user/$proj/tarball/master you can create a tag in your repo, push it to github and enjoy and new link in the download tab. Then you can download your project as http://github.com/$user/$proj/tarball/0.1 where 0.1 is the tag. Just for future ref : http://github.com/guides/push-tags-to-github
- If you want to create a debian package from a github project you should use the excellent service provided by Gunnar Wolf. For example, this is the redirect for my project ocaml-buddy : http://githubredir.debian.net/githubredir.cgi?author=abate&project=ocaml-buddy .Then your watch file will look like:
version=3
http://githubredir.debian.net/github/abate/ocaml-buddy (.*).tar.gz
Many other things to remember, I’m sure, but I forgot them all :)
