Package: git-buildpackage
Version: 0.6.31
Severity: minor
First, please DO NOT CLOSE THIS until it is fully clarified. Just don't!
It's insulting, even if you know immediately what the problem is; if
your docs don't make it clear to the user then your docs suck.
I tried to follow
file:///usr/share/doc/git-buildpackage/manual-html/gbp.import.html#GBP.IMPORT.UPSTREAM-GIT
and switched from the old tar-imported upstream branch to upstream
repository on Github (upstream author moved a few months ago).
Checking the documentation, I figured it's a good idea to add:
git-upstream-tag='v%(version)s'
to debian/gbp.conf in order to not write it down again and again.
Result:
$ gbp buildpackage --git-pristine-tar --git-pristine-tar-commit
...
gbp:info: Orig tarball 'encfs_1.8.1.orig.tar.xz' not found at '../tarballs/'
gbp:warning: Pristine-tar branch "pristine-tar" not found
gbp:error: Pristine-tar couldn't checkout "encfs_1.8.1.orig.tar.xz": fatal:
Path 'encfs_1.8.1.orig.tar.xz.delta' does not exist in
'refs/remotes/origin/pristine-tar'
pristine-tar: git show
refs/remotes/origin/pristine-tar:encfs_1.8.1.orig.tar.xz.delta failed
gbp:error: upstream/1.8.1 is not a valid treeish
I tried this and that and couldn't see the reason. The message is IMHO
kinda pointless; why does it not simply commit as it's told by the
command line? As the final guess I added
--git-upstream-tag='v%(version)s' to the command line and it suddenly
worked. So it looks like the option is not read from gbp.conf. How
should I know that? gbp.conf(5) does not tell me which ones are valid
there and which are not.
Out of blue, I added git-pristine-tar and git-pristine-tar-commit there
and got:
gbp:error: File contains parsing errors:
/home/user/debian/dev/encfs/debian/gbp.conf
[line 5]: 'git-pristine-tar\n'
[line 6]: 'git-pristine-tar-commit\n'
PARSING ERRORS? Seriously?
Or maybe something is not applicable in the DEFAULT section? Even if
that assumption is correct, the message should be something meaningful
and not a bogus "parsing error".
Regards,
Eduard.
