The Debian Zsh Package
======================

Debian's zsh package is team-maintained. This document describes some
of the resources the team uses.

Versioning Control System
-------------------------

The Debian Zsh Team uses a collab-maint Git repository on Alioth for
collaboratively maintaining the packaging code. The packaging lives in
the branch `debian`.

* Web-based repository viewer: https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/collab-maint/zsh.git
* Anonymous clone: `git clone -b debian git://anonscm.debian.org/collab-maint/zsh.git`
* Cloning via SSH: `git clone -b debian git.debian.org:/git/collab-maint/zsh.git`

The `master` branch in this Git repository is ancient and just exists
for historical reasons.

Workflow
--------

The workflow for working on the package is documented in
`debian/pkg-zsh-workflow.md`.

Communication
-------------

### IRC

Usually all active team members are gathered in #pkg-zsh on OFTC
(irc.oftc.net, AKA irc.debian.org).

Feel free to join, but be patient when waiting for answers. May take a
couple of hours until someone answers -- depending on your timezone
and the current weekday.

The channel is bi-lingual English and German as (by coincidence) all
active team members have German as mother tongue. So feel free to ask
questions in German. We though usually switch to English if someone
joins the channel who doesn't speak German (well).

### Mailing Lists

The primary mailing list is pkg-zsh-devel@lists.alioth.debian.org.

* Subscribe/unsubscribe at
  https://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pkg-zsh-devel
* Archive at https://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/pkg-zsh-devel/

There's a secondary mailing list to which all git commits are sent to:
pkg-zsh-commits@lists.alioth.debian.org.
