h Pirate,

thanks for the help.

Ok, great, now the build is triggered. Now I need to embed twemoji-parser:

Error: Cannot find module 'twemoji-parser/dist/lib/regex'

On #debian-js, I was told to use pkg-js-tools' add-node-component for
this.

#had to run this multiple times to get it right:
$ add-node-component -i twemoji-parser
No vcs repo found for 13.0.0 version
[...]

the watch file contains:
# It is not recommended use npmregistry. Please investigate more.
-> is this a problem?

Now I need to change debian/changelog:

felix at debianunstable:~/twemoji-stable/node-twemoji$ gbp buildpackage -us -uc
gbp:error: Couldn't find upstream tree 'upstream/13.0.1^{tree}' to
create orig tarball via pristine-tar

https://wiki.debian.org/Javascript/GroupSourcesTutorial#pkg-js-tools_way. suggests
something like:

dch -v 3.1.4+~3.0.2+~3.1.3-1 'Import upstream version
3.1.4+~3.0.2+~3.1.3-1'

So the node-twemoji version is 13.0.1, the twemoji-parser version seems
to be 13.0.0, so I tried:
dch -v 13.0.1+~13.0.0-1

But it seems I have lost all my upstream/* tags:
$ git tag
debian/13.0.1-1

$ gbp buildpackage -us -uc --git-ignore-new
gbp:error: Couldn't find upstream tree 'upstream/13.0.1+_13.0.0^{tree}' to create orig tarball via pristine-tar

Any idea? Do I need start from scratch?

Many Thanks and Best Regards,
