Package: dgit Version: 3.10 Severity: wishlist I use git-buildpackage for all of my package building, and one reason why is that I deeply dislike the default Debian behavior of cluttering the parent directory with random package build files. git-buildpackage has always supported configuring a build directory (../build-area appears to be common) to use for build output, where it doesn't clutter directory listings and can easily be purged after successful uploads.
It looks like dgit doesn't support this. At least, I don't see any configuration option that lets me set it, and dgit was unable to find builds in my configured build directory for upload. And there's no mention of this (quite common) configuration in the dgit-maint-gbp man page. Could this please be added? Or if I'm missing the documentation for it, maybe a few pointers to the correct documentation could be added to that man page? -- System Information: Debian Release: 9.0 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (990, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.9.0-3-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages dgit depends on: ii apt 1.4.4 ii ca-certificates 20161130+nmu1 ii coreutils 8.26-3 ii curl 7.52.1-5 ii devscripts 2.17.5 ii dpkg-dev 1.18.24 ii dput-ng [dput] 1.12 ii git [git-core] 1:2.11.0-4 ii git-buildpackage 0.8.12.2 ii libdpkg-perl 1.18.24 ii libjson-perl 2.90-1 ii liblist-moreutils-perl 0.416-1+b1 ii libperl5.24 [libdigest-sha-perl] 5.24.1-2 ii libtext-glob-perl 0.10-1 ii libtext-iconv-perl 1.7-5+b4 ii libwww-perl 6.15-1 ii perl 5.24.1-2 Versions of packages dgit recommends: ii openssh-client [ssh-client] 1:7.4p1-10 Versions of packages dgit suggests: pn sbuild <none> -- no debconf information
