Maintaining this backport
=========================

You'll want the official Debian packaging as a git remote:

git remote add salsa https://salsa.debian.org/debian/flatpak.git

Ideally import new versions into Debian experimental, but directly into
this repository is OK too.

First, import/merge new versions into the branch corresponding to the newest
Ubuntu branch, currently ppa/focal for Ubuntu 20.04.

If you have merged updated packaging from Debian, you might need to adjust
it for compatibility with focal.

Then merge the ppa/focal branch into ppa/bionic, and adjust as necessary
for compatibility with bionic.

Next, merge the ppa/bionic branch into ppa/xenial, and so on.

The advantage of this approach is that the package in each branch is as
modern as possible: changes that were necessary to be compatible with
xenial will automatically disappear if we stop maintaining a backport
to xenial, and so on.

Version numbering
-----------------

If the version has already been packaged in Debian, for example as
1.11.2-1, version it like 1.11.2-1flatpak1~20.04 in the PPA.

If the version has not already been packaged in Debian,
version it like 1.11.2-0flatpak1~20.04 in the PPA.
