Yes. > Why is it not sufficient to let gbp-build generate the orig tarball, > as implemented in dgit 2.9 as the fix for #841094 ? gbp might try to commit the tarball with pristine-tar if the right debian/gbp.conf is present, which might be unwanted, and it might complain about the name of the branch, etc. Also, I might want to generate a tarball without having to C-c the subsequent build gbp would do. I want a script that just calls git-archive(1) in the right way with a minimum amount of thought. I'm planning to write it and put it in ~/bin, but I thought it might be useful for others, so I filed the bug. I understand if you think the gbp generation is sufficient. -- Sean Whitton
