[amul:3] This step took a bit of trial and error until I got it to work. I'm going to step through the errors so I have a record of it and if I'm doing something incorrectly, it can be corrected. Here's the error that I started out with. instance1:~/fis-gtm-debmed.git> git-import-orig --pristine-tar ~/Downloads/fis-gtm-V6.1-000.tar.gz -u 6.1-000 gbp:error: Repository does not have branch 'upstream' for upstream sources. If there is none see file:///usr/share/doc/git-buildpackage/manual-html/gbp.import.html#GBP.IMPORT.CONVERT on howto create it otherwise use --upstream-branch to specify it. [amul:3] The HTML doc link above indicated going to the initial source import. I tried that (see the bit about COMMIT_ID), but the merge resulted in numerous conflicts. I fired up gitk and saw prior upstream commits had already chained off the initial source import until the upstream/6.0-003. I used the commit ID of the upstream/6.0-003 below. git clone ssh://git.debian.org/git/debian-med/fis-gtm.git fis-gtm-debmed.git cd fis-gtm-debmed.git git branch upstream d883233f4018839ce9f3da6faa57a5de8e2de98f git-import-orig --pristine-tar ~/Downloads/fis-gtm-V6.1-000.tar.gz -u 6.1-000 <commit> dch -v 6.1-000 <commit> rm -rf .pc mv ~/Downloads/fis-gtm-V6.1-000.tar.gz ../fis-gtm_6.1.orig.tar.gz git-buildpackage [amul:3] I ended up hitting the same error that stopped me in my tracks last time. Here's the error. I'll try to correct it tomorrow. Finished running lintian.

If someone else could give it a try that would be a great help. I also have a git push error that I don't understand. I try doing some more searches tomorrow.
