Package: git-buildpackage Version: 0.4.68 Severity: wishlist X-Debbugs-Cc: radeont...@packages.debian.org
Hi Guido! I am a bit picky about avoiding tracking automatically generated files, which results in tricks like this one to handle upstream changelogs generated from the commit log: http://git.debian.org/?p=collab-maint/radeontool.git;a=blob;f=debian/autogen.sh This abuses the ‘debian/rules clean’ target to generate or update the upstream changelog the first time it is run. Unfortunately, that breaks a workflow that involves using git archive HEAD | (cd elsewhere && tar -xf -) to create a separate build directory, since the old .git directory is nowhere to be found. Do you think git-buildpackage could be given a --git-prebuild hook so that 1. I don’t have to abuse ‘debian/rules clean’ for this any more 2. In the --git-export-dir case, a GBP_GIT_DIR variable could be exported to let the hook get at some precious information :) Thoughts?
