Package: git-buildpackage
Version: 0.7.4
Severity: wishlist
Hi,
I remember having reported a similar issue a couple of years ago and
back then it was closed with a useless coment. This time I stumbled upon
it again and still cannot find a SANE solution. With SANE, I mean
user-friendly. I, as user, wish to have an option to make a test build.
Without having an upstream tarball!
(that is the key point. The debian branch is a fork of the upstream
branch after all, it should just work).
WRT dpkg-buildpackage itself, I can easily force it to act like on a
native package and just build me my binary packages. But with gbp, this
simple task becomes PITA: it wants me to have some upstream reference or
else... (see below).
Sorry, there really should be an easy and user-friendly way to let me
just build it, no matter whether there is an upstream tag or not. I
did RTFM and nothing ringed a bell there. If there is an easy way,
please document it properly.
