[17:21] <athos> ahasenack: not sure if/how you are working around this. In LP: #1811817 I built my source package using my regular git ubuntu workflow with prepare-upload. It turns out this is a 1.0 format native package and I made the mistake of including the .git directory in the source package before the upload.
[17:21] -ubottu:#ubuntu-server- Launchpad bug 1811817 in weex (Ubuntu Focal) "[SRU] weex crash/core dumps under Ubuntu 18.04 LTS." [Undecided, In Progress] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1811817
[17:22] <athos> fixed by passing --tar-ignore=.git to dpkg-buildpackage
[17:22] <athos> I wonder if it would make sense to detect the package format and include that option in the prepare-upload options in such cases, rbasak 
[17:25] <sergiodj> athos: I use "-I.git -i.git"
[17:25] <sergiodj> (which is "--tar-ignore" and "--diff-ignore")
[17:25] <rbasak> I appreciate the problem but I think that's the wrong place. I would like to have a subcommand that does the source (or even binary) build for you, and that should dtrt.
[17:29] <athos> ahasenack: btw, I am specifically pinging you because I recently reviewed that 1.0 package MP
[17:29] <athos> thanks, sergiodj, rbasak!
[18:18] <ahasenack> athos: I hope the number of such old packages is low :/
[18:18] <ahasenack> dnsmasq is another one
[18:18] <ahasenack> I will check my upload when the time comes
[18:18] <ahasenack> I do use "dpkg-buildpackage" with -I and -i, I think that should exclude everything that is noise
