However, it appears that it is not. I think your problem might be that your "upstream branch" is not called "upstream", which is what gbp expects. I suggest you to create a debian/gbp.conf with the following contents: [DEFAULT] upstream-branch = <yourname> debian-branch = debian Then it will probably work :) (not tested though) > I'm thinking of some pseudo commands such as the following: > > git tag 1.0 > git checkout debian > git-buildpackage --using-tag 1.0 > > I know that gbp does not have the 'using-tag' option, but again, is > there a reason that it cannot exist? gbp has something similar already. In the gbp.conf above, you can add: [git-buildpackage] upstream-tree = tag This way, gbp will look for a tag named the same as the version you have in debian/changelog. Probably you will have to tweak the "upstream-tag" option too. Have a look at /etc/git-buildpackage/gbp.conf , it's a nice reading ;) David -- . ''`.
