Adam,

It makes everything easier if the Debian packaging repository is separate from the upstream repository. There are no rules on where they need to be hosted. However, my personal recommendation (also the recommendation of the majority
of Debian developers) is that the Debian packaging repository be hosted on Salsa. This is because there are some nice integrations with the larger
Debian ecosystem if such is the case.

Wherever you decide to place the Debian packaging repository, the Vcs-Browser and Vcs-Git entries should point to the Debian packaging repository and not
the upstream repository (this is understandably confusing to some people the first time they try to package for Debian).

Hi Phil,

I imported the project to Salsa, but I found some examples online of people using github as the vcs, curious to if it's preferred or necessary to use Salsa at present?

E.g. https://github.com/Debian/dcs/blob/main/debian/control
Vcs-Browser: https://github.com/Debian/dcs/
Vcs-Git: https://github.com/Debian/dcs/

If it's workable that way, seems easier but if not, should I put the
entries in debian/control like this:
Vcs-Git: https://salsa.debian.org/adanisch/bashbro.git
Vcs-Browser: https://salsa.debian.org/adanisch/bashbro

Thanks,
+Ad
