Andreas - Thanks for the encouragement. Not sure what's up with debcheckout since it works fine if I add the --package option as below:
In it's original form this fails on my latest upgraded/updated Jessie test system: iankarlwallace@debian-dev:~$ debcheckout --user iankarlwallace-guest --git-track '*' git://git.debian.org/debian-med/openemr.git declared git repository at git+ssh:// [email protected]/git/debian-med/openemr.git git clone git+ssh:// [email protected]/git/debian-med/openemr.git openemr ...

Resolving deltas: 100% (1274/1274), done. Checking connectivity... done. Branch pristine-tar set up to track remote branch pristine-tar from origin. Branch upstream set up to track remote branch upstream from origin. Use of uninitialized value $srcpkg in substitution (s///) at /usr/bin/debcheckout line 832. If I remove the directory and try again by adding the --package option telling debcheckout that the package is openemr then everything works as expected. Very strange ... very strange indeed. iankarlwallace@debian-dev:~$ debcheckout --user iankarlwallace-guest --git-track '*' --package openemr git:// git.debian.org/debian-med/openemr.git declared git repository at git+ssh:// [email protected]/git/debian-med/openemr.git git clone git+ssh:// [email protected]/git/debian-med/openemr.git openemr ...
