General maintenance

    This package is maintained in Git via the Alioth pkg-cryptsetup project.
    Alioth is used only for repository access control and mailinglist hosting,
    not for any of its other features.

    This package uses the "3.0 (quilt)" source format.

Importing a new upstream release

    Since upstream release 1.7.2, we use cryptographically signed Git release
    tags as basis for the Debian cryptsetup package.

    To import a new upstream release into our packaging repository, do the
    following:

    0. Ensure that you have the cryptsetup upstream Git repository available
       as a remote in the Git repository where you're doing the packaging
       work and it's up to date:

           git remote add --tags upstream git+ssh://gitlab.com/cryptsetup/cryptsetup.git
           git config remote.upstream.fetch master:upstream-2.0.x

       Please note we tack the upstream 'master' branch in our branch
       'upstream-2.0.x' for historical reasons.

    1. Update 'upstream' remote

           git fetch --tags upstream

    2. Determine the release tag corresponding to the new release. At the time
       of this writing, upstream uses tags in the form:

           TAG="v$VERSION"

       This convention may change, so double-check with 'git tag'.

    3. Validate the gpg signature for this release tag:

           git verify-tag "$TAG"

       The signing key can be found in 'debian/upstream-signing-key.asc'.
       Use `gpg -q debian/upstream-signing-key.asc` to show its
       fingerprint.

    4. Merge the upstream release tag <tag> into the master branch of your
       packaging repository:

           git checkout master
           git merge -m "Updated version $VERSION from '$TAG'" "$TAG"

    N. After development and testing, the final packages to be uploaded to
       Debian are built and tagged in the repository as follows:

           gbp buildpackage --git-tag
