[git-buildpackage] gbp-pq and patch creation

2022-05-12 Thread Seamus de Mora
In reading over 'man gbp-pq' again, it seems that this command does not create patch files. Instead, the patch files are created with another tool, and then imported with 'gbp-pq'. Is that correct? Thnx, ~S ___ git-buildpackage mailing list

I am under the impression that the gbp-import-dsc command in git-buildpackage (gbp) is designed to translate or convert (import) a *traditional* Debian source repository into a structure/format suitable for deployment and distribution using git (locally) and (for example) GitLab and GitHub as a

I should state this again for clarity: My objective is to create a git repo that allows users to clone, and then successfully build a .deb package for 'dhcpcd5' without recourse to an "external" tarball. By "external" I only mean that all of the data needed to successfully complete the build
