Hi Dylan,
before I can answer your questions I tried to build from the Git archive
using git-buildpackage. Unfortunately this fails with
...
dh binary
dpkg-genchanges -sa -sa >../openbugs_3.2.3-1_amd64.changes
dpkg-genchanges: error: binary build with no binary artifacts found; cannot distribute
dpkg-buildpackage: error: dpkg-genchanges gave error exit status 2
gbp:error: '~/bin/git-pbuilder' failed: it exited with 1
Are you able to build the package successfully? I wonder what might be
wrong in this case at my side since I did not observed things like this
before.
Kind regards
Andreas.
