[DRE-maint] Bug#743909: ruby-ferret needs --git-ignore-new to be built from git

[Cédric Boutillier]

Package: ruby-ferret
Followup-For: Bug #743909
Control: severity -1 wishlist

Hi Praveen,

As suggested, just add the --git-ignore-new switch to the gbp
build-package command. The deleted files come from a convenience copy of
a library and need to be removed to ensure that the package is built
against the system library. This is a correct operation from the point
of view of dpkg-source.

If you know a better method to deal with this situation, I'd be happy to
use it. In the meantime, I decrease the severity of this bug to whishlist.

Cheers,

Cédric
