Package: devscripts Version: 2.13.3 Severity: normal Hi, it would be nice if mk-build-deps generated .debs whose Version is the same as the .dsc it is building from. Then you could correctly store the *.debs of older versions instead of hacking the filename to be something other than the Version contained inside it.
One motivation is so you could informally distribute the resulting .deb and have version upgrades work correctly. Obviously I do not expect devscripts to officially support this usage, but it would be nice if it worked. -- Package-specific info: --- /etc/devscripts.conf --- --- ~/.devscripts --- Not present -- System Information: Debian Release: jessie/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 3.9-1-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages devscripts depends on: ii dpkg-dev 1.16.10 ii libc6 2.17-92 ii perl 5.14.2-21 ii python3 3.3.2-15 Versions of packages devscripts recommends: ii at 3.1.13-2 ii curl 7.32.0-1 ii dctrl-tools 2.23 ii debian-keyring 2013.07.31 ii dput 0.9.6.4 ii equivs 2.0.9 ii fakeroot 1.18.4-2 ii gnupg 1.4.14-1 ii libcrypt-ssleay-perl 0.58-1 ii libdistro-info-perl 0.11 ii libencode-locale-perl 1.03-1 ii libjson-perl 2.59-1 ii libparse-debcontrol-perl 2.005-4 ii libsoap-lite-perl 0.716-1 ii liburi-perl 1.60-1 ii libwww-perl 6.05-1 ii lintian 2.5.15 ii man-db 2.6.5-2 ii patch 2.7.1-3 ii patchutils 0.3.2-2 ii python3-debian 0.1.21+nmu2 ii python3-magic 1:5.14-2 ii sensible-utils 0.0.9 ii strace 4.5.20-2.3 ii unzip 6.0-9 ii wdiff 1.1.2-1 ii wget 1.14-2 ii xz-utils 5.1.1alpha+20120614-2 Versions of packages devscripts suggests: ii bsd-mailx [mailx] 8.1.2-0.20111106cvs-1 ii build-essential 11.6 pn cvs-buildpackage <none> pn devscripts-el <none> ii gnuplot 4.6.3-2 ii gpgv 1.4.14-1 ii heirloom-mailx [mailx] 12.5-2 ii libauthen-sasl-perl 2.1500-1 ii libfile-desktopentry-perl 0.04-3 ii libnet-smtp-ssl-perl 1.01-3 pn libterm-size-perl <none> ii libtimedate-perl 1.2000-1 ii libyaml-syck-perl 1.27-2 ii mutt 1.5.21-6.3 ii openssh-client [ssh-client] 1:6.2p2-6 pn svn-buildpackage <none> ii w3m 0.5.3-11 -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
