Hi,
I'm happy to announce the release of git-buildpackage 0.9.37:

    https://git.sigxcpu.org/cgit/git-buildpackage/tag/?id=debian/0.9.37

Here's a list of changes:

git-buildpackage (0.9.37) unstable; urgency=medium
.
  [ Guido Günther ]
  * [9551420] import-orig: Add mention of --upstream-vcs-tag to description.
    This makes it hopefully easier to discover.
  * [9a2507e] setup: Require python 3.11.
    We don't test it on anything older. (Closes: #1091851)
  * [005676a] buildpackage: Make sure export_dir is always set.
    Fixes c9cc8df4 ("buildpackage: remove export_dir if build fails")
    (Closes: #1091554)
  * [ae6f841] repo-setup: Drop context manager for posix path.
    Python's breaks backward compatibility without being helpful.
    See https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/83863
    This fixes running gbp with Pythone 3.13
.
  [ Otto Kekäläinen ]
  * [ec9ee37] docs: Clarify and unify the purpose of each command in the man pages.
    Update the <refpurpose> field in each command to better capture the main
    purpose of the command, and ensure the main `gbp (1)` man page uses the
    same text to avoid them from diverging.
  * [f3036fb] docs: Add examples sections where missing, and enrich examples.
    Most commands should have an EXAMPLES section on the man page, and the
    first 1-2 examples should show what are the most common invocations.

Thanks to everybody who contributed to this release. As usual the
package is available via Debian unstable:

    https://packages.debian.org/sid/git-buildpackage

Cheers,
 -- Guido
