Package: git-buildpackage Version: 0.9.22 Severity: minor X-Debbugs-Cc: [email protected]
Hello, after reading [1] (thanks for that btw!) i was still unsure how to proceed [1] https://honk.sigxcpu.org/projects/git-buildpackage/manual-html/gbp.special.nmus.html thru some trial and error i found the below procedure to work flawlessly, so i think i'd contribute back so that you can expand the doc to include that: 0. download all the "missing" debian source packages in a temporary location - and example on how to do that is `depsnap -d /temp/location/ <src package?>` 1. `git checkout <packaging branch>` usually master|main|debian/master 2. gbp import-dsc --debian-branch=nmu --create-missing-branches /temp/location/pkg_ver.dsc repeat as many time as needed, follow chronological order. this will also take care of creating tags, importing new upstream releases, update pristine-tar, etc 3. `git merge nmu` do the usual git merge dance 4. `git branch --delete nmu` thanks! -- System Information: Debian Release: 11.0 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 5.17.0-3-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU threads; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE not set 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 2.21.3 ii git 1:2.33.1-1 ii man-db 2.9.4-2 ii python3 3.9.8-1 ii python3-dateutil 2.8.1-6 ii python3-pkg-resources 59.6.0-1.2 ii sensible-utils 0.0.14 Versions of packages git-buildpackage recommends: ii cowbuilder 0.89 ii pbuilder 0.231 ii pristine-tar 1.49 ii python3-requests 2.25.1+dfsg-2 ii sbuild 0.81.2 Versions of packages git-buildpackage suggests: pn python3-notify2 <none> ii sudo 1.9.5p2-3 ii unzip 6.0-26 -- no debconf information
