Package: git-buildpackage Version: 0.6.22 Severity: wishlist Hi,
feel free to close this bug if I'm doing something conceptually wrong here... I stumbled across the following blog post a few days ago where a pbuilder hook is created to generate a _source.changes file for source-only uploads http://www.corsac.net/?rub=blog&post=1579 This does work with plain pdebuild, but not with git-buildpackage --git-pbuilder because the latter always removes the _source.changes file after an successful binary build. Actually, it does create a source changes file early in the process (before pbuilder), so the hook isn't even necessary. As far as I understood creating the source.changes during a binary build would be preferred to using the -S flag, because it would ensure that the binary package can actually build before upload. If all that is true please add an option to either keep the source.changes file generated by git-buildpackage or at least keep it if it has been generated with the build hook described above. Thanks, Bernhard
