I still get an error from "gbp export-orig" when cloning the current version of the repository on Salsa:
$ gbp clone git@salsa.debian.org:pkg-octave-team/zmat.git
gbp:info: Cloning from 'git@salsa.debian.org:pkg-octave-team/zmat.git'
$ cd zmat
$ gbp export-orig
gbp:info: Creating /var/data/rlaboiss/debian/PKGS/zmat/zmat_0.9.8.orig.tar.gz
gbp:error: Can not find pristine tar commit for archive 'zmat_0.9.8.orig.tar.gz'
sorry, I haven't changed anything yet -
can you let me know your preference (see below) on how to fix the
pristine-tar branch? I will fix this right away.
As I mentioned earlier, the zmat_0.9.8.orig.tar.gz file linked in my .dsc is a modified version of the upstream release.I suppose I can do one of two things to fix this:
1. delete the pristine-tar branch, and reimport the (modified upstream tarball) "zmat_0.9.8.orig.tar.gz" that matches my .dsc
2. delete the pristine-tar branch, rename unmodified upstream tarball from zmat-0.9.8.tar.gz to zmat_0.9.8.orig.tar.gz and import that file to pristine-tar.
Please let me know which one is the proper next step.
