[Bug 246493] Re: Please backport git-buildpackage 0.4.33 from Intrepid to Hardy

2008-08-29 Thread bfallik
Michael,

Thanks for the clarification.  I wasn't away that backport requests used
the Status field differently.  I wonder if it makes sense to note this
in the wiki somewhere?

I understand the increased complexity of source level porting.
Unfortunately I don't think I'll have any cycles to work on this, esp.
considering the Intrepid chroot workaround I mentioned earlier.

Feel free to switch this bug back to Incomplete if that makes the most
sense.

Thanks,
brian

Michael,

Can you clarify the rather large changes to backport?

Also, I don't see the value in setting this bug to Incomplete.  Are you
soliciting more information from us?
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Status suggests Won't Fix is more
appropriate if this bug is to be ignored for Hardy.  I'm setting it back
to New for now and the Bug Contact (who is that, anyway?) can mark it as
Won't Fix.

Thanks,
brian

I agree.

I was unable to get git-import-orig to work at all from Hardy.  The traceback 
when run on a xxx.orig.tar.gz file was:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File /usr/bin/git-import-orig, line 211, in module
sys.exit(main(sys.argv))
  File /usr/bin/git-import-orig, line 181, in main
import_source_tree(repo, orig_dir, version, options.filter, verbose=not 
is_empty)
  File /usr/bin/git-import-orig, line 56, in import_source_tree
old = set(repo.index_files())
  File /var/lib/python-support/python2.5/gbp/git_utils.py, line 84, in 
index_files
files = [ file for file in out[0].split('\0') if file ]
IndexError: list index out of range

My workaround was to use a very big hammer.  I created an Intrepid
chroot and used get-import-orig from there.
