Re: Source packages for pgl_ddl_deploy

Dear Christoph,

Sorry for the delay - we have released one more patch along with the
required changes you suggested for this to be fully ready for packaging.
See below.

That way our build machinery can automatically grab the .tar.gz from

This has now been done and is ready at
https://github.com/enova/pgl_ddl_deploy/tree/master/debian

I just tagged the most recent release as you suggested:
https://github.com/enova/pgl_ddl_deploy/releases/tag/v1.3.0

Yes, it is OK to upload the packages to Debian as you asked.

Please let me know if this gives us what we need.

Thanks very much!
Jeremy
