Hello!
I'm trying to use gbp to create Debian packages from an upstream git repository.
I've followed the "No upstream tarballs" section from the "When upstream uses
Git" page[1] and I'm a bit confused by the result.
I have the following .git/gbp.conf file:
----------------------------
[DEFAULT]
upstream-branch = master
debian-branch = debian
upstream-tag = v%(version)s
----------------------------
In my upstream branch (master), I have a tag on the commit I'd like to create a
Debian package from (v0.78).
In the documention, it is said to run:
gbp buildpackage --git-pristine-tar --git-pristine-tar-commit
--git-upstream-tag='v%(version)s' --git-debian-branch=debian/sid
however, I get the following error:
----------------------------
gbp:error: You have uncommitted changes in your source tree:
gbp:error: On branch debian
Untracked files:
(use "git add <file>..." to include in what will be committed)
debian/
nothing added to commit but untracked files present (use "git add" to track)
gbp:error: Use --git-ignore-new to ignore.
----------------------------
Once I create the debian folder with the required information, do I have to
commit it first, or should I use the --git-ignore-new option instead?
Moreover, in the manual page for `git buildpackage`[2], we can see that if
--git-pristine-tar is enabled, "the --git-upstream-tag, --git-upstream-tree
options have no effect."
Later in the doc[1], it is said to launch
gbp dch --debian-branch=debian/sid --snapshot --auto debian/
but, again, in the doc page[3], we can read that --auto "is ignored for
compatibility with older versions. It used to trigger automatic mode.". Should
it be removed from the doc page then?
I managed to build my package in the end, but then, a few lines later, it says
to:
gbp dch --release --auto --git-debian-branch=debian
However, when I run this, I get the following error:
gbp dch: error: no such option: --git-debian-branch
If I remove "--git-debian-branch=debian", I can then edit the changelog
manually, but the version number is not using the version number from the
upstream branch's tag (v0.78), but instead it's using "0.77ubuntu1".
Is it the intended use? In that case, I don't understand at what point the
"upstream-tag" option is used.
Thanks in advance for any clarification you may provide!
