Hi, I am trying to use git buildpackage with the following results:
a) with an orig.tar.gz archive in the parent directory of the sources I get: ~/simple-netaid-0.1.1$ git buildpackage dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -D -us -uc -i -I dpkg-buildpackage: source package simple-netaid dpkg-buildpackage: source version 0.1.1-1 dpkg-buildpackage: source distribution unstable dpkg-buildpackage: source changed by Edward <edbarx@edbarx-pc> dpkg-source -i -I --before-build simple-netaid-0.1.1 dpkg-buildpackage: host architecture amd64 fakeroot debian/rules clean dh clean dh_testdir dh_auto_clean make[1]: Entering directory '/home/edbarx/simple-netaid-0.1.1' make -C backend_src clean make[2]: Entering directory '/home/edbarx/simple-netaid-0.1.1/backend_src' rm -f obj/backend.o obj/caller.o obj/core_functions.o obj/file_functions.o obj/essid_encoder.o obj/automated_scanner.o bin/backend make[2]: Leaving directory '/home/edbarx/simple-netaid-0.1.1/backend_src' rm -f lib/*/*.* rm -f backend simple-netaid make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/edbarx/simple-netaid-0.1.1' dh_clean dpkg-source -i -I -b simple-netaid-0.1.1 dpkg-source: error: can't build with source format '3.0 (native)': native package version may not have a revision dpkg-buildpackage: error: dpkg-source -i -I -b simple-netaid-0.1.1 gave error exit status 255 debuild: fatal error at line 1376: dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -D -us -uc -i -I failed gbp:error: 'debuild -i -I' failed: it exited with 29 b) without a .orig.tar.gz archive in the parent directory I get: ~/simple-netaid-0.1.1$ git buildpackage This package has a Debian revision number but there does not seem to be an appropriate original tar file or .orig directory in the parent directory; (expected one of simple-netaid_0.1.1.orig.tar.gz, simple-netaid_0.1.1.orig.tar.bz2, simple-netaid_0.1.1.orig.tar.lzma, simple-netaid_0.1.1.orig.tar.xz or simple-netaid-0.1.1.orig) continue anyway?

It seems to having to do with a revision. Thanks for all your help.
