Works nicely. I keep a file debian/gbp.conf usually with the content > [DEFAULT] > pristine-tar = false > debian-branch = master # or debian/sid > verbose = true > > [buildpackage] > overlay = true in Git for others; and I use debian/.gitattributes with this content: > .gitattributes export-ignore > salsa-ci.yml export-ignore > gbp.conf export-ignore to keep the Debian package clean. The default salsa-ci.yml works very well with this too. We use this layout for most of our packages in the debichem team. As far as I heard, the KDE team uses it too. `gbp pq` doesn't work with this layout. Regards, Daniel
