The salt repo on GitHub is being imported into Launchpad. Please see:
https://launchpad.net/salt.
The source code is imported periodically by Launchpad. And each import
results in a .deb being built (actually several .deb's). Please see:
https://launchpad.net/~saltstack/+archive/salt.
The packages that are there now were manually uploaded. No new .deb's
have been built. Thus this commit.
This commit bumps the version number so that the package version will
be greater than the package version currently on Launchpad. (This
number doesn't need to be bumped on each commit. Launchpad will add an
additional incremental package version number to each .deb it
creates.)
Also, this commit deletes "debian/source/format". I'm no Debian
package expert, but this seems to indicate to the Debian build tools
that the .deb is being created using a tarball. With this removed
we're able to build a .deb using the source code tree instead. For
example, `debuild -uc -us -i -I` will do the trick.
This means that we'll be creating daily builds of salt on
Launchpad. What's on Launchpad now was until recently the most recent
stable release. This could be a bit of a surprise for people. We may
want to have "stable", "testing", and "unstable" PPA's.
