Package: git-buildpackage Version: 0.9.7 Severity: wishlist Dear maintainer,
It seems there is no way to configure git-buildpackage into using mk-origtargz; in particular, this means gbp ignores the `Files-Excluded` directive from debian/copyright. While uscan itself supports this option, I am not using tarballs downloaded by uscan, but rather upstream's git tags, as the basis for my “upstream” branch (because upstream releases signed tags, not signed tarballs). Being able to keep using the simple gbp workflow even when repackaging would be extremely helpful :) Best, nicoo PS: Thanks a lot for making git-buildpackage, it is extremely useful. -- System Information: Debian Release: buster/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (900, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.14.0-3-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) (ignored: LC_ALL set to en_US.UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) (ignored: LC_ALL set to en_US.UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages git-buildpackage depends on: ii devscripts 2.18.1 ii git 1:2.16.2-1 ii man-db 2.8.2-1 ii python3 3.6.4-1 ii python3-dateutil 2.6.1-1 ii python3-pkg-resources 38.5.2-1 Versions of packages git-buildpackage recommends: ii pbuilder 0.229.1 ii pristine-tar 1.42 ii python3-requests 2.18.4-2 ii sbuild 0.73.0-4 Versions of packages git-buildpackage suggests: pn python3-notify2 <none> ii sudo 1.8.21p2-3 ii unzip 6.0-21 -- no debconf information
