Please, *never* do that. It's generally a very bad idea to write anything to debian/gbp.conf. It's as if you were adding your text editor preferences in the package. Instead, please prefer writing in ~/.gbp.conf. Just an example: if someone is using pbuilder, and wants to add a new binary to your package, then your debian/gbp.conf will be super annoying, because in such case, we need to upload *with* binaries (as source-only uploads aren't possible in the NEW queue). Also, please remember that not everyone is using git-buildpackage, and that nobody is ever, forced to do so, even when using git for packaging (just calling plain sbuild works perfectly, for example). A few years ago, we decided to *completely* remove all traces of debian/gbp.conf inside the OpenStack team, and I very much enjoy this choice. The only annoying bit, is that now, everyone *must* write in ~/.gbp.conf this: [DEFAULT] ignore-branch = True By the way, it'd be nice if it became the default in git-buildpackage. This missleads everyone into writing a debian/gbp.conf just in order to tell git-buildpackage what branch to build with. Cheers, Thomas Goirand (zigo)
