Package: git-buildpackage Version: 0.5.10 Severity: minor Tags: upstream Hi Guido,
while packaging kiwix we stumbled over an issue with the --git-pristine-tar option. The package version currently is 0.9~beta6.3-1. git-import-orig works fine with that version (tarball is 0.9~beta6.3). The import tag on the upstream branch gets named upstream/0.9_beta6.3. On git-buildpackage -uc -us the orig tarball gets created from upstream/0.9_beta6.3 alright (as kiwix_0.9~beta6.3.orig.tar.gz). However, if I use git-buildpackage -uc -us --git-pristine-tar, I get the following error: ------8<---- mike@sid:~/tmp/kiwix.b$ git-buildpackage -uc -us --git-pristine-tar dh clean dh_testdir debian/rules override_dh_auto_clean make[1]: Entering directory `/home/mike/tmp/kiwix.b' dh_auto_clean rm -f ChangeLog INSTALL NEWS config.guess config.sub make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/mike/tmp/kiwix.b' dh_clean fatal: Path 'kiwix_0.9~beta6.3.orig.tar.gz.delta' does not exist in 'refs/heads/pristine-tar' pristine-tar: git show refs/heads/pristine-tar:kiwix_0.9~beta6.3.orig.tar.gz.delta failed gbp:error: Couldn't checkout "kiwix_0.9~beta6.3.orig.tar.gz": /usr/bin/pristine-tar returned 128 ------>8---- Greets, Mike -- System Information: Debian Release: 6.0.5 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'proposed-updates'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=de_DE.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=de_DE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages git-buildpackage depends on: ii devscripts 2.10.72 scripts to make the life of a Debi ii git [git-core] 1:1.7.10-1~bpo60+1 fast, scalable, distributed revisi ii git-core 1:1.7.10-1~bpo60+1 fast, scalable, distributed revisi ii python 2.6.6-3+squeeze7 interactive high-level object-orie ii python-dateutil 1.4.1-3 powerful extensions to the standar ii python-support 1.0.10 automated rebuilding support for P Versions of packages git-buildpackage recommends: hi cowbuilder 0.62 pbuilder running on cowdancer ii pristine-tar 1.15 regenerate pristine tarballs Versions of packages git-buildpackage suggests: ii git-load-dirs 1.1.8 Import upstream archives into git -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
