micdudtrying to figure out proper packaging with gbp but get stuck in 2 places , 1: upstream does not use any tags ( can i just tag the upstream branch myself , or will that screw up later updates from upstream?) 2: how do i get gbp to make orig.tar.gz by itself ( so far i have been using one made by dh_make )11:23
LeePenmicdud: yes, tag yourself. Once the tag is there gbp will build the orig tarball.11:25
micdudand later pull/merge remote/upstream branch  will not erase them ?11:26
LeePenNot unless you specifically ask.11:27
micdudthanx11:27
micdudthis is missing in docs everywhere , they all assume upstream always tags11:27
LeePenSee --prune and --pruen-tags in git-pull(1).11:28
micdudstill get same errors after tagging upstream . 1:(gbp:info: Tarballs 'package_00.01.01.orig.tar.gz' not found at '../') 2:(gbp:error: upstream/00.01.01 is not a valid treeish)12:44
LeePenHave you created the tag upstream/00.01.01?13:16
micdudjust figured it out i was just tagging 00.01.0113:20
micdudthanx13:21
micdudcan i call gbp to make orig.tar.gz and deb-source without building the first incomplete package so i can commit extra changes and then build a full package16:18
LeePenCall gbp with '--git-builder=true'16:20
micdudlast question(today) with gbp worklow i should not touch dpkg-source --commit , and do everything with gbp pq and keep it on patch-queue branch?16:55
LeePenThis is personal choice. I have never used gbp pq. I usually just use quilt import on the patch file created with git-format-patch.17:26
LeePenBut there are lots of ways to do it.17:26
