This is an option of dpkg-buildpackage which (eventually) is invoked by gbp buildpackge. We have this in the docs: - Call debuild(1) or Cowbuilder (via --git-pbuilder) or the application specified via --git-builder passing along all arguments given to gbp buildpackage on the command line that don't start with --git-. Do you have suggestions how that could be improved? Cheers, -- Guido > > Please consider. > > Best regards. > > G. >
