…hen building with enabled overlay option
If debian/gbp.conf contains something like:
| [buildpackage]
| overlay = True
| export-dir = ../build-area
then invoking gbp with our default $GBP_OPTS will fail with:
| gbp:error: Overlay must be used with --git-export-dir.
To avoid running into this, let's check for the overlay option,
and if it's enabled then explicitly set --git-export-dir= to '--git-export-dir=../'
to generate the orig.tar.* files at the expected place.
On Debian/jessie `gbp config buildpackage.overlay` reports something like:
| buildpackage.overlay=False
while on newer systems, `gbp config buildpackage.overlay` reports:
| False
So the check only grep's for "True".
JFTR, we are *not* setting --git-export-dir=../ by default, as this
involves some further operations going on, which might be unexpected
in existing installations where the overlay feature isn't present/enabled.
See e.g.:
| % gbp buildpackage -nc --git-force-create --git-ignore-new --git-ignore-branch -S -us -uc --git-verbose --git-builder=/bin/true --git-cleaner=/bin/true --git-export-dir=
| gbp:debug: ['git', 'rev-parse', '--show-cdup']
| gbp:debug: ['git', 'rev-parse', '--is-bare-repository']
| gbp:debug: /bin/true [] []
| gbp:debug: ['git', 'symbolic-ref', 'HEAD']
| gbp:debug: ['git', 'show-ref', 'refs/heads/debian']
| gbp:debug: ['git', 'show-ref', 'refs/heads/pristine-tar']
| gbp:debug: ['git', 'ls-tree', 'upstream/5.8']
