Package: git-buildpackage Version: 0.5.26 Severity: normal When running "git-import-orig --uscan", with a watch file that specifies a repacking script, then git-import-orig will import the wrong file (it imports the original and not the repacked archive).
An example is the libpostscript-file-perl package[1], which includes the following watch file: version=3 opts="dversionmangle=s/\+dfsg//" \ http://search.cpan.org/dist/PostScript-File/ \ .*/PostScript-File-v?(\d[\d.]+)\.(?:tar(?:\.gz|\.bz2)?|tgz|zip) \ debian sh debian/repack.stub The "repack.stub" script repacks the tarball to remove some non-DFSG-free files, and renames the tarball to libpostscript-file-perl_2.10+dfsg.orig.tar.gz. Unfortunately, looking at the code I can't see an easy way of getting the filename of the repacked tarball, unless we define a standard way for repacking scripts to output the new filename. Or perhaps we should look at adding "native" repacking support to uscan? 1. git://git.debian.org/pkg-perl/packages/libpostscript-file-perl.git -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.38-2-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) (ignored: LC_ALL set to en_GB.UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages git-buildpackage depends on: ii devscripts 2.11.0 scripts to make the life of a Debi ii git [git-core] 1:1.7.5.4-1 fast, scalable, distributed revisi ii git-core 1:1.7.5.4-1 fast, scalable, distributed revisi ii python 2.6.6-14 interactive high-level object-orie ii python-dateutil 1.4.1-3 powerful extensions to the standar ii python-support 1.0.14 automated rebuilding support for P Versions of packages git-buildpackage recommends: ii cowbuilder 0.63 pbuilder running on cowdancer ii pristine-tar 1.13 regenerate pristine tarballs Versions of packages git-buildpackage suggests: pn git-load-dirs <none> (no description available) ii python-notify 0.1.1-2+b3 Python bindings for libnotify -- Configuration Files: /etc/git-buildpackage/gbp.conf changed [not included] -- no debconf information -- Chris Butler <chr...@debian.org> GnuPG Key ID: 4096R/49E3ACD3 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
