Package: git-buildpackage Version: 0.8.12.2 Severity: normal While working on a new upstream version of kicad it's vissible that gbp is (still) ignoring the filter-pristine-tar option for the commits of the complementary tarballs into the pristine-tar branch.
Some of the extra tarballs containing e.g some .gitattributes and .tarvis.yml files in various subdirectories. ... comp-folder/folder1/.gitattributes folder2/.travis.yml folder3/.gitattributes ... gbp is correctly cleaning this out and imports this content to the upstream branch. There are no such files visible later. For the main tarball of the source a respective *.gbp.tar.xz is created and commited to the pristine-tar branch afterwards. But all complementary stuff isn't repacked into *-comp.gbp.tar.xz archives and commited to the pristine-tar branch. ... gbp:debug: Creating pristine tar commit 'libraries' from 'd6f158a258e824cad2ae251683c080142fb7c014' gbp:debug: /usr/bin/pristine-tar [] ['commit', '../../gitprojects/kicad_4.0.6+dfsg1.orig-libraries.tar.xz', 'd6f158a258e824cad2ae251683c080142fb7c014'] gbp:debug: /usr/bin/pristine-tar [] ['commit', '../kicad_4.0.6+dfsg1.orig.tar.xz', '6d02b04a528d2c304dc38cda695ea405e75b4f79'] ... dpkg-source is notice the difference and shows: ... dpkg-source: warning: ignoring deletion of file libraries/Housings_SON.pretty/.travis.yml, use --include-removal to override dpkg-source: warning: ignoring deletion of file libraries/Connectors_USB.pretty/.travis.yml, use --include-removal to override dpkg-source: warning: ignoring deletion of file libraries/Housings_CSP.pretty/.travis.yml, use --include-removal to override dpkg-source: warning: ignoring deletion of file libraries/Battery_Holders.pretty/.travis.yml, use --include-removal to override dpkg-source: warning: ignoring deletion of file doc/.travis.yml, use --include-removal to override ...
