Bug#910567: Git respository issues for sn package.
I have been working on the packaging, including resolving the 'serious' bug [1].
However, when attempting to test my progress so far, I've run into
issues with the git respository [2].
When attempting to do a package build from the git repository (using
'gbp'), the build fails with an error message referring a missing file
'patch-stamp', which had apparently been cleaned up at the start of
the build. Found that the file is indeed in the repository and looks
to have been imported with Debian sn package version 0.3.8-3 some 10
years ago. I had already found that the so-called 'upstream' branch
also has a 'debian' directory, which is not good for a non-native
package.
Fortunately I do have a clean sn_0.3.8.orig.tar.gz archive so I've
been working around the issue by doing manual test builds using
'debuild'. That has slowed down working on the package, however...
