Package: git-buildpackage Version: 0.4.65ubuntu1 Severity: important
As mentioned in the subject, without pristine-tar in use, or using --git-no-pristine-tar, git-buildpackage fails with submodules in two areas: * Creating the orig tarball from tag or upstream-branch * Exporting the contents of the debian-branch to a separate directory (--git-export-dir) In both cases, the contents of the submodule is left out, meaning that the contents of the submodule are missing from both the exported directory and orig tarball, leading to it being completely missing from the generated package. This is due to git-archive not handling submodules, as it only exports the contents of a tree-ish, which does not include submodules by design. git-buildpackage relies on git-archive both for exporting the directory, as well as for generating the tarball. A possible solution would be to workaround these two areas, by looping through each submodule and exporting to the export-dir or catenating the contents into the generated tarball. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers lucid-updates APT policy: (500, 'lucid-updates'), (500, 'lucid-security'), (500, 'lucid-backports'), (500, 'lucid'), (400, 'lucid-proposed') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.35-rc4-hyper1 (SMP w/2 CPU cores; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=en_SG.utf8, LC_CTYPE=en_SG.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages git-buildpackage depends on: ii devscripts 2.10.61ubuntu5 scripts to make the life of a Debi ii git-core 1:1.7.0.4-1 fast, scalable, distributed revisi ii python 2.6.5-0ubuntu1 An interactive high-level object-o ii python-dateutil 1.4.1-3 powerful extensions to the standar ii python-support 1.0.4ubuntu1 automated rebuilding support for P Versions of packages git-buildpackage recommends: ii pristine-tar 1.00 regenerate pristine tarballs Versions of packages git-buildpackage suggests: pn git-load-dirs <none> (no description available) -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
