Package: git-buildpackage Version: 0.5.32 Severity: normal File: /usr/bin/git-import-orig
Hi, I've been trying to import a new upstream tarball of pcsc-cyberjack, which carries the version number 3.99.5final.SP03'. Unfortunately, git-import-orig refuses this version string with this error message: gbp:warn: Not a valid upstream version: '3.99.5final.SP03'. Upstream version numbers must start with a digit and can only containg lower case letters (a-z), digits (0-9), full stops (.), plus signs (+), minus signs (-), colons (:) and tildes (~) I worked around it by avoid upper-case letters for now. However, this is suboptimal, since a) upstream does use upper-case letters here and b) Policy ยง5.6.12 [1] does explicitly allow upper case letters in the upstream version, see footnote 36: http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/footnotes.html#f36 [1 ]http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-controlfields.html#s-f-Version Please relax this upstream version check.
