Package: git-buildpackage Version: 0.9.32 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
import-orig with a URL (not ending in .zip, but not sure if this is relevant): gbp tries to use "tar" and fails uncompressing. For example: ------- carles@pinux:[debian/unstable]~/git/debian/python-cloudscraper$ gbp import-orig --verbose https://codeload.github.com/VeNoMouS/cloudscraper/zip/refs/heads/master gbp:debug: ['git', 'rev-parse', '--show-cdup'] gbp:debug: ['git', 'rev-parse', '--is-bare-repository'] gbp:debug: ['git', 'rev-parse', '--git-dir'] gbp:debug: ['git', 'for-each-ref', '--format=%(refname:short)', 'refs/heads/'] gbp:debug: ['git', 'show-ref', '--verify', 'refs/heads/upstream'] gbp:debug: ['git', 'status', '--porcelain'] What is the upstream version?
