Package: git-buildpackage Version: 0.6.0~git20121124 Severity: normal When building a full (source+binary) package, dpkg-source is invoked by dpkg-buildpackage. dpkg-source needs the orig tarball in order to create the source package. git-buildpackage should extract the tarball from the pristine-tar branch (if it exists) before invoking dpkg-source (if the tarball does not already exist), otherwise the build fails because the orig tarball was not found.
In case this is a configuration corner case, here is my ~/.gbp.conf: [DEFAULT] #pristine-tar = True [git-buildpackage] export-dir=../build-area sign-tags=True [git-import-orig] sign-tags=True [git-dch] multimaint-merge=True And debian/gbp.conf: [DEFAULT] pristine-tar = True sign-tags = True -- System Information: Debian Release: 7.0 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (101, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 3.2.0-4-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages git-buildpackage depends on: ii devscripts 2.12.6 ii git 1:1.7.10.4-2 ii python 2.7.3-4 ii python-dateutil 1.5+dfsg-0.1 Versions of packages git-buildpackage recommends: ii cowbuilder 0.71 ii pristine-tar 1.26 Versions of packages git-buildpackage suggests: ii python-notify 0.1.1-3 ii unzip 6.0-9 -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
