Swith from `git-buildpackage` to `gbp buildpackage`
Closed this issue · 2 comments
The build-deb.sh is trying to use the git-buildpackage command to build the package, but it does not exist. However, the package git-buildpackage does exist and the syntax for that one is identical as far as I can tell. Simply replacing git-buildpackage \ with gbp buildpackage \ on line 13 made the package build successfully on my Debian Sid machine.
I'm not sure when the command name changed but it's been gbp at least since Bookworm (current stable Debian release). If we know of any use case that still requires the old command I can make a small patch with detection logic but otherwise I would say this is a trivial fix.
I think I'd rather remove the debian folder. It is not not really good practice to maintain it upstream, anyway
I agree in part, but from what I can tell there is no ltc-tools package in Debian yet. I would prefer if the debian folder could stay until it's in packaged downstream.
Unfortunately I barely have time to take care of my existing projects at the moment so it would be careless of me to submit an ITP for ltc-tools myself, but since libltc is packaged it might be worth checking if any of the maintainers or uploaders of that package would be interested in packaging ltc-tools as well. The Multimedia Team mailing list is at debian-multimedia@lists.debian.org and the archive of the mailing list is at https://lists.debian.org/debian-multimedia/ .
I'm sorry I can't be of any more help in getting it packaged downstream.
