Hi Peter,
I followed your instructions, but the end result of that was just
errors. Did you do something else to get it built?

Hi,
Below are my steps I've done to import the new upstream version and
build the package with git-buildpackage on a Debian Buster machine (or
chroot).
Please note that I didn't really look at the circumstances of the
package and whether this is all appropriate with the new version, as
it worked for me. This is also the reason I dropped the doc patch
because I don't need the man within the package.
#Install prerequisites
apt install git-buildpackage
apt install pristine-tar

#Clone from debian Gitlab
mkdir bird2
cd bird2
#Download current release (didn't get the ftp uscan working)
wget https://bird.network.cz/download/bird-2.0.8.tar.gz
gbp clone --pristine-tar https://salsa.debian.org/debian/bird2.git

Hi again,
Just contacted Ondřej Surý and Benjamin Drung (he did the last commit)
about helping out to bump https://salsa.debian.org/debian/bird2/ to
2.0.8.
In parallel asked the backports list about adopting BIRD2 in Debian
Backports.
To be continued...
Regards,
Keee
