Re: Including "orig.tar.gz" for upload with gbp/git-buildpackage
Hi,
gbp buildpackage -S -sa works for me.
Mentors strips binaries, so I don't understand why to call it with pbuilder :)
alternatively also
dpkg-buildpackage -S -sa works.
And in case you want to do a backport, where you have to include the orig tarball, but pbuilder strips
it (yes, it happens)
"changestool package_version~bpo8+1_amd64.changes includeallsources"
this is how I force the reinclusion of the source tarball.
cheers,
Gianfranco

Hi,
I've tried to upload a backport to mentors.d.n a few moments ago and
it got rejected with the following error:
"If you tried to upload a package which only increased the Debian
revision part, make sure you include the full source (pass -sa to
dpkg-buildpackage)"
The manpage for "dpkg-buildpackage" says nothing about "-sa", but
"dpkg-genchanges(1)" says it "Forces the inclusion of the original
source", which makes total sense here. The problem is that I couldn't
find out how to pass "-sa" to "gpb".
The command used to build the package was:
sudo gbp buildpackage --git-pbuilder --git-dist=jessie
Which, as expected, didn't included the original sources. If I try to
add "-sa" (because the manpage for "git-buildpackage" says that it
will "Call debuild ... passing along all arguments given to gbp
buildpackage that don't start with --git-"), as in:
sudo gbp buildpackage -sa --git-pbuilder --git-dist=jessie
It fails:
(...)
I: Running /usr/bin/dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -us -uc ${DEBBUILDOPTS}
dpkg-buildpackage: unknown option or argument '-sa'
Use --help for program usage information.
(...)
gbp:error: 'git-pbuilder -sa' failed: it exited with 1
The chapter "6.7. Command hierarchy"[1] of the Debian New Maintainers'
Guide states that "gbp buildpackage" is a wrapper around "gbp",
"pbuilder" and "dpkg-buildpackage". By default it should call
"debuild" (as it says on the excerpt from the manual above), but as
"--git-pbuilder" is being used, it is calling "pbuilder" instead. The
problem is that the chapter "9.2. Including orig.tar.gz for upload"[2]
doesn't have any mentions about how to use "-sa" with "pbuilder",
neither with "gbp".
Am I missing something here and this isn't really hard to do? The
entire stack and multiple levels of wrappers and their options being
passed from one to another confused me a lot.
Regards,
Tiago.
