Package: git-buildpackage Version: 0.4.66 Severity: wishlist Tags: sid
Dear Maintainer, A very useful and well-known script is git-pbuilder by Russ Allbery. The script acts as a wrapper around the pdebuild/cowbuild/pbuilder complex so that using those scripts is (mostly) seamless from git-buildpackage. I created a package for the script, but Russ rightly noted that a package for just one script might be overkill and that adding it to git-buildpackage might be easier for users. So: Please add git-pbuilder to the package. Please find it at: http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/software/scripts/git-pbuilder.html As I wrote earlier, I tried my hand at the packaging, which is at: http://gitweb.byte.nl/git/git-pbuilder.git One hint: perl documentation is included in the script. The manual is easily extracted with: override_dh_installman: pod2man git-pbuilder > debian/git-pbuilder.1 dh_installman override_dh_clean: rm -f debian/git-pbuilder.1 dh_clean Thanks!
