Description

running
gbp import-orig \
—upstream-vcs-tag=“tails-installer_$NEW_UPSTREAM_VERSION” \
../tarballs/liveusb-creator_$NEW_UPSTREAM_VERSION+dfsg.orig.tar.gz

gives

Repository does not have branch ‘upstream/3.x+dfsg’ 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.
so I had to check out upstream/3.x+dfsg

our docs might want to have a step where we check out upstream/3.x+dfsg and merge origin

If we do this then we have to list all needed branches, not just this one. I think the overall description of our branches setup should be enough to give a good idea of what branches must be available locally, and I say don’t bother too much, as the only person who realistically could be hit by “I don’t have the new branches” problem has already been hit and fixed his setup.

> and merge origin

What do you mean?

those were some notes from anonym’s tests of the documentation. I simply copy pasted them. I don’t think we have to merge origin.
