[Debian-salsa-ci] Need some information regarding building package with git submodules

[probal basak]

Hello,

In my particular case, the code repository and the build repo are
different.
In my build repo I have the gitlab ci config and the debian folder.


I have checked and in my case, the gbp export-orig fails and thus the tar
is created using the origtargz

https://salsa.debian.org/salsa-ci-team/pipeline/-/blob/master/salsa-ci.yml#L137

I still could not find a way out to get the git submodules source as well
while creating the source tar.


I tried to use --git-submodules with gbp buildpackage and it did not help
either.
I just need the source of all the git submodules in the source tarball.

Any help will be appreciated please.


Thanks.
