Package: devscripts Version: 2.14.1 Severity: normal Hi,
if debcheckout clones a git repository, if should create a local tracking branch for pristine-tar (if that exists in the remote repository). Otherwise git-buildpackage --git-pristine-tar fails because it cannot find the pristine-tar branch. It tries to access the remote, but somehow this fails. Also a local pristine-tar branch is needed to import a new upstream release. $ debcheckout qgis [...] $ cd qgis $ git-buildpackage --git-export-dir=../build-area --git-pristine-tar [...] [...] gbp:warning: Pristine-tar branch "pristine-tar" not found fatal: Path 'qgis_2.0.1.orig.tar.gz.delta' does not exist in 'refs/remotes/origin/pristine-tar' pristine-tar: git show refs/remotes/origin/pristine-tar:qgis_2.0.1.orig.tar.gz.delta failed gbp:error: Couldn't checkout "qgis_2.0.1.orig.tar.gz": /usr/bin/pristine-tar returned 128 There may be an additional bug in pristine-tar that makes it only look for .tar.gz in refs/remotes/origin/pristine-tar while we have an ..tar.bz2 in this case. After checking out pristine-tar locally once, gbp succeeds: [...] pristine-tar: successfully generated /tmp/rebuild/build-ares/qgis_2.0.1.orig.tar.bz2 [...] Andreas -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
