Kandarp,

You had reported problems building sugar-pollbuilder-activity as
reported on the pastebin[1]. This seems to indicate something is wrong
with your original tarball.

You can regenerate the orig.tar.gz by invoking get-orig-source (after
changing the activity name in debian/rules), or by using the one stored
in pristine-tar. Because you're changing the activity name from what we
were planning on using in Debian, the tarball information as stored in
pristine-tar will also have to be changed. To do that, either
git-stash[2] or git-commit your changes to master locally, and do the
following:

$ git checkout pristine-tar # Change to the pristine-tar branch
$ git mv sugar-poll-activity_26+git20100521.d4def0b6.orig.tar.gz.id
sugar-pollbuilder-activity_26+git20100521.d4def0b6.orig.tar.gz.id
$ git mv sugar-poll-activity_26+git20100521.d4def0b6.orig.tar.gz.delta
sugar-pollbuilder-activity_26+git20100521.d4def0b6.orig.tar.gz.delta
$ git commit # Save the name change
$ git checkout master # Change back to master
$ git-buildpackage -S # Build the package
