Hello.
Originally I authored this message for the developer of git-buildpackage, but then I realized that I have no idea how many such inquiries he might receive, so I'd better not send one more.
I am a huge fan of git, and debian, so I really like the idea of git-buildpackage. I've even used it to build some unreleased debian packages locally.
Presently I'm trying to use it to build ikiwiki, this time with a change of my own.
I am under the impression that the ikiwiki dev uses gbp himself. So this should be easy, right?
I believe that the source of my trouble is that 1) I don't have any experience building packages *without* gbp and 2) the gpb documentation is written for those who would like to migrate to gpb from other build tools.
Here is the problem I'm currently facing:
hobbes@metalbaby:~/src-e2/iw/git.ikiwiki.info$ git-dch
gbp:error: Version 3.20130505 not found
My changes are in branch 3.20130515d, which I created. (from master.)
Would you recommend some documentation?
I am sure that I am "holding the thing backwards" in some way.
Thanks, cheers,
--Dave

Then you would be in the best position to improve the documentation.

What is the output of "git tag -l" in your repository?

I do appreciate your enthusiasm for encouraging folks to contribute, but this statement is clearly factually wrong. :) I would accept “In the future, you might find yourself in the best position to improve the documentation.”

My question is OT there, since I am not studying to become a Maintainer. But I'll risk it.

Information about which parts are hard to understand, make too many

assumptions, etc. can be almost as valuable as patches.
