Hi all, I'm trying to create a package from a git project but it seems I can't convince git-buildpackage to build the package properly. I've read the git-buildpackage manual and used with git-import-dsc , but I've never used tracking a git project 'manually'. So, this is what I've done.
$git clone [email protected]:flerda/MiniSat-ocaml.git $git branch -a * master remotes/origin/HEAD -> origin/master remotes/origin/master remotes/origin/minisat2 $git checkout -b upstream remotes/origin/minisat2 $git branch -a * master upstream remotes/origin/HEAD -> origin/master remotes/origin/master remotes/origin/minisat2 $cp <location of the debian directory> debian $git merge master upstream $git commit -a -m debianization $git-buildpackage ... dpkg-buildpackage: full upload; Debian-native package (full source is included) ... So I clone the upstream repo, create an upstream branch to track a specific branch the I add the debian directory, commit, rinse and build ... but git-buildpackage does not consider the upstream branch as upstream and hence does not create a proper source package. I've also tried to specify --git-upstream-branch with no aval ... what am i doing wrong ? thanks. pietro ps: I'm also one of the upstream authors, but I prefer to keep the debian packaging separated from the development work. -- ---- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Posting_style -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
