Package: gitpkg
Version: 0.11
Severity: wishlist
As discussed on IRC, I got pristine-tar support working using a
hook. The hook uses the variables DEB_DIR, DEB_SOURCE, and
DEB_VERSION. It also duplicates the calculation of the orig.tgz file
using "${DEB_SOURCE}_${DEB_VERSION%-*}.orig.tar.gz".
The not so nice part is I need to know the git directory gitpkg was
invoked in. So have a line like the following
REPO_ROOT=$PWD/`git rev-parse --show-cdup`
in my gitpkg.conf. I don't really like depending on the config file
quite so strongly. It would be great if you could make variable for
hooks to use that either does what I wrote above, or at least stores
the $PWD when gitpkg is invoked. I just noticed that gitpkg only works
when invoked from the repo root directory, so you might consider using
the "git rev-parse --show-cdup" trick to change there invoked from
e.g., ./debian
Hook and config attached; distributed either or both as you please.
My hook hasn't been tested on native packages; but I guess one
wouldn't bother installing it then.
