Package: git-buildpackage Version: 0.4.30 Severity: wishlist --- Please enter the report below this line. ---
Dear DDs,
I want to build the xserver-xorg-video-openchrome package, which is
sitting in NEW right now, from git.debian.org [2]. I read about
git-buildpackage afterwards [1]. But although reading some manuals
[4][5][6], I am not able to succeed.
Therefore it would be nice, if you could add a small example either in
your manual or e. g. the Debian Wiki [3].
Here is, what I did yesterday. Maybe you can spot the error and help me
out. (I copied the build-dep from the output of git-buildpackage and
installed them using aptitude.)
$ cd /tmp/

That is the point, where I do not know what to do.
Thanks a lot,
