Hi,
I know this is not the Debian HPC list!
Andreas helped Urmas Rist to put the source of Leil Storage SaunaFS on
Salsa at my suggestion so we could use SaunaFS to replace LizardFS as
shared storage for bioinformatics applications on Debian-based HPC
clusters such as Proxmox, which uses Ceph for shared storage.
However, as you can see from the attached email, I'm new to "gbp" and I
would appreciate help to understand what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks,
Tony.

Hello Tony!
Sorry for the late reply, I had to cut the other day short.
I don't think you even need to use `--git-upstream-tag=v5.1.2` option.
It should work fine without it.
Also make sure the git repository is clean with `git reset --hard HEAD`
and `git clean -f .`.
P.S: I just updated the git repository with 5.3.0 snapshot, you may want
to pull after you are able to build 5.1.2 package.
Hi, Urmas.
I only have guest access to Salsa as Tony Travis @ajtravis-guest, so I
can't create comments or issues in "history". I've requested access, but
I hope you don't mind me contacting you by email for now.
I'm running Debian 12 (bookworm) on my Proxmox Backup server "pbs1":
root@pbs1:/usr/local/src# lsb_release -d
No LSB modules are available.
Description: Debian GNU/Linux 12 (bookworm)
As you can tell from my previous email, I'm new to "gbp" and struggling
to understand how to use it. Your suggestions did not fix the problem,
but I have managed to get it to run using a BRANCH instead of a TAG:
root@pbs1:/usr/local/src/saunafs# gbp clone
https://salsa.debian.org/hpc-team/saunafs.git
root@pbs1:/usr/local/src/saunafs# cd saunafs/
root@pbs1:/usr/local/src/saunafs# DIST=bookworm ARCH=amd64 git-pbuilder create
|& tee /var/tmp/git-pbuilder.log
root@pbs1:/usr/local/src/saunafs# gbp buildpackage --git-pbuilder --git-arch=amd64
--git-dist=bookworm --git-upstream-tag=master |& tee /var/tmp/gbp.log
However, this failed to build because of an error and stopped:

I couldn't get it to run using a version tag and I could not see any

tag you did. I'd appreciate your advice about what I'm doing wrong!
Thanks,
Tony.
