Debian package source

Hello,

I need to build ubuntu/debian package for postgis 3.3.7 and would like to
reuse your package source if possible. Could you please tell me whenever it
is freely available and if yes, where I could find it.

Thanks in advance!

Kind Regards,
Sasa Vilic

Everything in Debian is Free Software, so it is available.

PostGIS is at https://packages.debian.org/sid/postgis

There is no version 3.3.7, though. Where did you see that?

There is postgis 2.3.8 actually (
http://postgis.net/2018/11/24/postgis-patches/) but there is no
Debian/Ubuntu package. I thought I could take 2.3.3 package source and
update postgis source and build myself package.

Regards
Sasa

The Debian source package is located at salsa.debian.org [1], as most
of the PostgreSQL debian packaging sources. The repository includes a
wide pallet of postgis package versions. I would take the content of
this repository as a starting point.

I still don't get the question. If you want help with anything, you
need to be more precise.

Thanks Christoph,

but I believe I can manage from here. I was looking for where you keep
source of debian packages for postgres repository, but if it all comes from
debian, then I know what I need to do.

If you look at change log (
https://salsa.debian.org/debian-gis-team/postgis/blob/master/debian/changelog
)
you can see that Debian went from 2.3.3 to 2.4.0. I have a legacy system
with postgres 9.6 and I need to update postgis to 2.3.5 due to important
bugfix that came along with 2.3.5 (and I can't used 2.4.0 or newer). I want
to do this nicely, by creating Debian package and installing it (instead of
manually compiling and installing).

Regards
Sasa

Right. apt.pg.o packages are using the same source as Debian, just
recompiled with a version number with a suffix.

In some cases, additional tweaks are applied to get packages built for
older distributions. In postgis' case, that is only the case on
trusty:

You can take that git, check out the debian/2.3.3+dfsg-1 tag and start
from there. Chances are that this will Just Work.
