Package: svn-buildpackage Version: 0.6.9 Severity: normal Hi,
First of all, let me thank you for svn-buildpackage, which I have found to be a truly helpful utility. In fact, I find it so useful, that I want it to assist with tasks where it currently fails. :-) Specifically, there are two probably related errors that I have experienced when working with packages where the original archive contains files at its root. In such cases, I have been unsuccesful at modifying upstream files when working in mergeOnUpstream mode. The Debian package that I am working with is php-pager. As with other packages created of PHP Pear modules, the original archive for this package contains a package.xml file at the root of the archive, with the rest of the files in an appropriately named directory. As long as I modified none of the upstream files, I was able to succesfully use svn-buildpackage. The problem came when I attempted to modify one of the upstream files. My first attempt was to add the modified file to the subversion repository (as I have previously done for other packages). When doing this, I obtained the following error: mv: when moving multiple files, last argument must be a directory Try `mv --help' for more information. Command mv [...]/debian/packages/php-pager/build-area/tmp-0.837188808337913/package.xml [...]/debian/packages/php-pager/build-area/tmp-0.837188808337913/Pager-2.3.3 <1 more argument> failed in [...]/debian/packages/php-pager/php-pager, how to continue now? [Qri?]: When I tried executing the mv command from the command line, it worked correctly. As a sanity check on my part, I also tried performing a fresh import of the package using svn-inject (in an empty repository), with one of the upstream files already modified. This also failed to perform as I had expected. Specifically, even though I had only modified a single upstream file, every file from upstream was imported into my repository (despite the fact that I specified -o, and was specifically told "mergeWithUpstream property set". Anyway, I assume that these are simply corner cases that you haven't previously encountered. If you think that I am doing something wrong, or if you would like more information about the erros which I am experiencing, please let me know.
