hi everyone,
in 2020, I learned how to package debian packages and created two python
packages
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=964993
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=964994
over the last few years, the upstream git repos of both projects had
been updated but the watch files failed to detect new releases.
I still have access to both packages on salsa
https://salsa.debian.org/science-team/pyjdata
https://salsa.debian.org/science-team/pybj
I just tried the following steps to update the packages
1. modify the debian/watch file to watch pypi releases
2. run uscan, download the new upstream tarball
3. commit the change of the watch file
4. run gbp import-orig --pristine-tar ../newpackage.orig.tar.gz
5. update files under debian/
6. git push --all
after this, I noticed that pyjdata CI failed with with the following errors
https://salsa.debian.org/science-team/pyjdata/-/pipelines/659403
dpkg-source: error: aborting due to unexpected upstream changes, see
/tmp/pyjdata_0.3.6-1+salsaci+20240330+8.diff.yssV2X

<https://salsa.debian.org/science-team/pyjdata/-/jobs/5520025#L1096>dpkg-buildpackage:
error: dpkg-source -b . subprocess returned exit status 2
for pybj, ci tasks finished ok, but the test-crossbuild-arm64 job failed
https://salsa.debian.org/science-team/pybj/-/pipelines/659410
I am wondering if anyone can help me resolve these issues - was there
any problem for the steps I took? any pointers on how to properly update
a package to new upstream release would be appreciated.
also, I noticed that uscan downloads from pypi appear to include an
.egg-info folder that is not part of my git source repo. is this a
problem? is monitoring github release/tag a better way or pypi is preferred?
thanks
