Indeed I do not use git-buildpackage, I just used the tarball from the archive in this package. And being the rookie that I was in 2009 I did not know anything about best practices and had not created an upstream branch, much less a pristine-tar branch. It doesn't matter a lot for this package since a new upstream release more than hundred years after the author's death is rather unlikely. ;-) Anyway, I have created upstream and pristine-tar branches now, might be handy if the .orig.tar.gz is missing and all you have is the git repository without network access. > Please let me know if you handle your upstream tarballs in a different > way and I will be happy to upload. Thanks, in addition I have added "Rules-Requires-Root: no" to debian/control and finalized the changelog at https://salsa.debian.org/joachim-guest/dict-devil. This is what you should get: ,---- | $ sha1sum ../dict-devil_1.0-13_all.deb | dc1a78948d760a811debc2eb796a28d88020484a ../dict-devil_1.0-13_all.deb `---- I usually only push release tags after packages are uploaded to the Debian archive, but if you want a signed tag now I can provide that. Cheers, Sven
