building using git-buildpackage. creating orig.tar.gz help

#1 Post by praka123 »

I am testing git-buildpackage to build compiz . I've pulled the sources. edited,committed all fine. but, git-buildpackage needs *.orig.tar.gz one directory up. what is the procedure? I cannot understand the "pristine-tar" thingy. help please. and git-import-dsc It says this error:

Code: Select all

git-import-orig --pristine-tar ../compiz-0.9.5.0.tar.gz 
gbp:error: 
Repository does not have branch 'upstream-unstable' for upstream sources. If there is none see
file:///usr/share/doc/git-buildpackage/manual-html/gbp.import.html#GBP.IMPORT.CONVERT
on howto create it otherwise use --upstream-branch to specify it.
this is the debian/gbp.conf :

Code: Select all

cat debian/gbp.conf 
[DEFAULT]
debian-branch = debian-unstable
debian-tag = compiz-%(version)s
upstream-branch = upstream-unstable
upstream-tag = compiz-%(version)s

I tried compiling after renaming snapshot of latest compiz from git debian
http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=pkg ... 529;sf=tgz

and renamed it to suit *.orig.tar.gz and did git-buildpackage(after correcting build dependencies). it compiled and built compiz packages. but dpkg-shlibs throwed out 100s of warning messages. :(
I also compiled libcompizconfig0 to match the version from the git.
after, installing compiz failed to load due to errors like wall,theme,session etc not loading error. the versions installed are matching. except for emerald and emerald-themese whcih are also manually compiled.
I have to relook what went wrong.

these are the packages built and the versions :
compiz_0.9.5.0-0.1_all.deb
compiz-core_0.9.5.0-0.1_amd64.deb
compiz-dev_0.9.5.0-0.1_amd64.deb
compiz-gnome_0.9.5.0-0.1_amd64.deb
compiz-gtk_0.9.5.0-0.1_amd64.deb
compiz-plugins_0.9.5.0-0.1_amd64.deb
libdecoration0_0.9.5.0-0.1_amd64.deb
libdecoration0-dev_0.9.5.0-0.1_amd64.deb

libcompizconfig0_0.9.5.0-0.1_amd64.deb
libcompizconfig-dev_0.9.5.0-0.1_amd64.deb

emerald_0.8.8-1_amd64.deb
emerald-themes_0.7+sid1_all.deb
EDIT: built using git after branching the version(git branch compiz-0.9.5.0 debian-unstable eg) and it built successfully.

Compiz works, but it is unstable as well as I have problems with window manager(cannot drag windows :( )..
reverted to working compiz verisons.
