I fail to see this as a chicken-egg problem: DEP14 do not depend on git-buildpackage supporting DEP14 with zero configuration. Quoting Andreas Tille (2024-08-16 11:44:38) > I prefer having no debian/gbp.conf at all in case the repository > layout would fit team policy. I understand that it would be lovely if git-buildpackage supported DEP14 without you needing to touch a thousand packages. But do you really put on your DPL hat and raise that wishlist bug to a matter for d-devel to debate and try solve? Please do consider the simpler approach here: Step one: Discuss on d-devel if DEP14 can be accepted as-is. Step two: Discuss in bugreports how various tools might be improved for as exciting a user experience with DEP14 as sensible for each tool. Personally, I think DEP14 is usable as is, and look forward to have it formally be declared done. I do not, however, understand the details of the DEP procedures well, however, so look forward to feedback from others beter understanding those details. ...but not details on git-buildpackage: Details on the formal DEP procedures - unless those really are super intertwined. Until someone knowledgable on DEP procedures explains how that necessitates solving specific tooling issues as well, please pretty please discuss tooling details, like git-buildpackage migration handling and/or default settings, at the appropriate bugreports *without* cross-posting to d-devel.
