hi, The java git policy (https://wiki.debian.org/Java/JavaGit#Import_upstream) tells you to use "--filter ..." during "gbp import-orig" to filter non-dfsg content. However, most mentors tell you that this is uscan's job (or the job of a uscan download-postprocessing script) [1]
--> So am I doing something wrong if I import an new upstream version with gbp import-orig --filter foo.txt --pristine-tar --filter-pristine-tar\ <src.tar.gz> (or simply "gbp import-orig --pristine-tar <src.tar.gz> if nothing is to be filtered) AND filter the uscan download ([1])? OR shall I better filter the uscan download and import that? (I guess this would break "pristine tarballs", which is ok for filtered sources?) Does that, in conjunction with "gbp buildpackage --git-pristine-tar ..." suffice to create "pristine" uploads? (I am asking because it's a lot of effort to go back to a previous rev and reimport upstream sources, that's why I develop experimental packages on a private github repo) [1] You can specify "Files-Excluded: ..." in debian/copyright and uscan will pick this up and filter+repack the downloaded file, see: https://wiki.debian.org/UscanEnhancements Sorry for the long text.
