So far, we assumed you already have a Debian™ package to start with, but what if you want to start a new package? First, create an empty repository:
mkdir package-0.1 cd package-0.1 git init
Then, you import the upstream sources, branch off the
upstream-branch
branch and add the Debian™ files (e.g. via dh_make):
gbp import-orig-u
0.1
../package-0.1.tar.gz
dh_make
That's it, you're done. If you want to publish your new repository, you can use gbp create-remote-repo.
