| andyli | Hi! I'm new to deb packaging and trying to update a package since there is an upstream release. | 08:17 |
|---|---|---|
| andyli | The package contains a debian/watch file that points to a github tag page. The problem is, the github archives do not include submodules. | 08:17 |
| andyli | The submodules were introduced after the last debian packaged version, so it was not a problem, but it is now. | 08:17 |
| andyli | So how is that submodule thing be managed normally? | 08:17 |
| mitya57 | andyli, ask your upstream to provide proper tarballs | 08:26 |
| mitya57 | (or write a custom script that will git clone & git archive for you) | 08:26 |
| andyli | Does a custom script means removing the debian/watch file, and then rewrite the debain/rules get-orig-source target? | 08:28 |
| mitya57 | Yes | 08:29 |
| mitya57 | I have something like this in mathjax-docs package | 08:29 |
| andyli | Does the "bzr merge-upstream" command automatically use get-orig-source? | 08:30 |
| * mitya57 never used that | 08:30 | |
| andyli | ok, I will try that first. Thanks! | 08:32 |
