Changes that may be needed for Debian's build configuration:

Source tarballs are now distributed on GitHub:
https://github.com/damonlynch/rapid-photo-downloader/releases

The Main branch is tagged with the release.
The release tarball archive contains the output of the sdist build.

Please note that gir1.2-unity-7.0 should be included as a package dependency.

Please consult the release notes for changes in the build system. In
particular, please note the necessity of creating two new Debian build
packages. These new packages are useful to all projects that use the
Hatch build system:

Hatch-gettext
Hatch-argparse-manpage

Details are in the release notes.

With the Hatch build system these plugins make it easier than before
to package this project.

Thank you,
Damon

You're welcome to use the Ubuntu packaging as a base.
gir1.2-gexiv2-0.10 is being removed from Debian so you need to use
gir1.2-gexiv2-0.16 instead.

Hi Jeremy,

thanks for pointing me to the Ubuntu package.

Is there some usual process when using the Ubuntu packaging in Debian?

Do I just copy it over including the Ubuntu package interations, and
mention this in a new changelog entry for the Debian upload?

Or do I copy the changes since the last Debian upload and consolidate
all the Ubuntu changes in this one upload?

Regards,
Tino
