It's one-thirty and we have a number
of people who put their name down

for lightning talks, so let's begin.

So, the rules are simple:
five minutes and three slides, no more.

We actually have a gap for the first session
so we may as well skip straight over:

Ian.

[ Negotiating the projector. ]

Ok, so I'm here to plug 'dgit',
which is my baby -

everybody should be using 'dgit'.

Well not quite everyone, but we'll see.

Put your hand up if you're
comfortable with 'git'.

Excellent, that's pretty good.
Keep your hand up if you do

bug-squashing NMUs.

Right, you should be using 'git' for that.
You should be using 'dgit'

- you can put your hands down now -

if you use 'dgit' you will be able
to do everything in 'git',

you will never need
to read another 'debdiff',

you can use 'git diff' and 'dgit'
will make sure that what you upload

is what you meant to upload.

You don't have to care about
maintainers with poor 'git' workflows

or their weird 'git' trees

You can just do everything in 'git'.

You can cherry-pick your upstream
bugfix directly from the upstream branch

onto what 'dgit' gives you.

Fix up the conflicts, 'dgit push',
the job is done.

You can 'dgit push' to 'DELAYED'
as well now.

Ok, so maintainers:
who is a Debian package maintainer?

Keep your hand up if you
maintain it in 'git'.

Keep your hand up if it's
a 'native' package.

You should be uploading it
with 'dgit'!

[laughter]
You can put your hands down now.

'dgit' will publish your actual
'git' history for all its users

who will then be able to send you
pull requests, patches,

you will be able to 'dgit pull'
any non-maintainer upload (NMU)

you will be able to 'dgit fetch'
the NMU and review it

just like you would with 'git fetch'

even if the uploader didn't use 'dgit'.

So maintainers again:
who is a Debian maintainer?

Who here amongst you generates
your original archives from 'git' somehow?

Maybe with 'pristine-tar', or 'git-buildpackage'
branches, or something?

[anticipatory laughter]

You should be using 'dgit push', because
'dgit' will push your actual patch queue
