Other than gbp dch (which I think should work fine), what features > of gbp would you like to use with git-dpm? gbp import-orig --uscan (the whole import with git-dpm is flawed, there are too many ways to fail, like a patch that cannot be rebased and the pristine-tar branch is not updated, like the previous upstream was not tagged because not released [and git-dpm only tags upstream when master is tagged] and it fails in the middle of the process, gbp rollbacks when there is a problem). -- Few things are harder to put up with than the annoyance of a good example. -- "Mark Twain, Pudd'nhead Wilson's Calendar"
