This looks correct (assuming the missing .orig.tar.gz is a typo). (also, the --pristine-tar is unnecessary because it is already defined in debian/gbp.conf) Do you have any config in ~/.gbp.conf? Or git configuration (~/.gitconfig, .git/config, /etc/gitconfig)? It seems like the upstream branch was rebased on top of master instead of being merged. > > Thanks > Dan > > PS I've been trying so hard to do it exactly by the rules and it seems > every time the results are not as desired.

However, it is not that common (otherwise we wouldn't use them!). Hopefully we can diagnose the root cause of this failure so that it doesn't happen again. -- Saludos, Felipe Sateler _______________________________________________ pkg-multimedia-maintainers mailing list [email protected] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pkg-multimedia-maintainers
