Package: git-buildpackage Version: 0.7.3 Severity: minor Dear Maintainer,
the package I'm building has its upstream branch on 'master' (the current release on tag v0.2.0) and the debian branch for sid on 'debian/sid'. I therefore have created a configuration file in 'debian/gbp.conf' with the following content, so that I can run 'gbp buildpackage' instead of the lengthy 'gbp buildpackage --git-upstream-tree=v0.2.0 --git-debian-branch=debian/sid': [buildpackage] git-upstream-tree=v0.2.0 git-debian-branch=debian/sid But when I run "gbp buildpackage --git-verbose" I get: gbp:debug: ['git', 'rev-parse', '--show-cdup'] gbp:debug: ['git', 'rev-parse', '--is-bare-repository'] gbp:debug: /bin/true [] [] gbp:debug: ['git', 'status', '--porcelain'] gbp:debug: ['git', 'symbolic-ref', 'HEAD'] gbp:debug: ['git', 'show-ref', 'refs/heads/debian/sid'] gbp:error: You are not on branch 'master' but on 'debian/sid' gbp:error: Use --git-ignore-branch to ignore or --git-debian-branch to set the branch name. So it seems that the contents of 'debian/gbp.conf' are not checked before the error message regarding the branch names is printed. I would have expected that the package builds normally. -- System Information: Debian Release: stretch/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (1000, 'unstable'), (500, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.5.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=de_DE.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=de_DE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages git-buildpackage depends on: ii devscripts 2.16.2 ii git 1:2.8.0~rc3-1 ii man-db 2.7.5-1 ii python-dateutil 2.4.2-1 ii python-pkg-resources 20.7.0-1 ii python-six 1.10.0-3 pn python:any <none> Versions of packages git-buildpackage recommends: ii cowbuilder 0.79 ii pbuilder 0.223 ii pristine-tar 1.33 ii python-requests 2.9.1-3 Versions of packages git-buildpackage suggests: ii python-notify 0.1.1-4 ii sudo 1.8.15-1.1 ii unzip 6.0-20 -- no debconf information
