Package: git-buildpackage Version: 0.9.9 Severity: wishlist Hi,
I recently ran into a bug in pristine-tar [1], which means at least for the systemd package we can no longer use pristine-tar for the time being. Imho it would be really useful if gbp in the absence of pristine-tar, would pull the tarball from the Debian archive or the upstream location instead of generating an orig.tar.gz on the fly (which most likely will not have the same md5sum as the one currently in the archive). E.g. I have now explicitly turned off pristine-tar in gbp.conf for systemd, and if I have removed the orig.tar.gz from my build/tarball directory, so now I get: $ gbp buildpackage gbp:info: Tarballs 'systemd_239.orig.tar.gz' not found at '../tarballs/' gbp:info: Creating systemd_239.orig.tar.gz from 'upstream/239' Regards, Michael [1] https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=902115 -- System Information: Debian Release: buster/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (200, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.16.0-2-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=de_DE.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=de_DE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=de_DE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages git-buildpackage depends on: ii devscripts 2.18.3 ii git 1:2.18.0-1 ii man-db 2.8.3-2 ii python3 3.6.5-3 ii python3-dateutil 2.6.1-1 ii python3-pkg-resources 39.2.0-1 Versions of packages git-buildpackage recommends: ii cowbuilder 0.87+b1 ii pbuilder 0.229.3 ii pristine-tar 1.44 ii python3-requests 2.18.4-2 Versions of packages git-buildpackage suggests: pn python3-notify2 <none> ii sudo 1.8.23-1 ii unzip 6.0-21 -- no debconf information
