Package: git-buildpackage
Version: 0.9.8
Severity: wishlist
Hi,
I just hit a little issue when working on src:plymouth in Debian.
Here, the debian/gbp.conf specifies:
[buildpackage]
tarball-dir = ../tarballs/
export-dir = ../build-area/
This overrode my setting of "export-dir = /tmp/buildd" in ~/.gbp.conf
which, whilst it appears in the build log, was rather misleading and
I actually used my muscle memory and signed a totally
unrelated .changes file at. tmp/buildd/*.changes (!).
Two possible solutions would be:
a) Making it not possible to override export-dir in debian/gbp.conf.
b) Always using the value of export-dir in ~/.gbp.conf if specified,
regardless of the value in debian/gbp.conf
c) Adding a setting to ~/.gbp.conf which toggles b), probably even a
(better named) "ignore-debian-gbp-conf-settings = export-dir,foo"
(Mostly braindumping here, I'm sure there's a cleaner solution...)
Best wishes,
