I've added the options to both dpkg-buildpackage and dpkg-genchanges, -g and -G, for source+arch-indep and source+arch-dep respectively (although I'm not entirely happy with the names, but that's the best that I could find that matches the current pattern, I'll probably add either long options or a build-type selector option in the future). And dpkg-buildpackage will pass those down to dpkg-genchanges. It will also fail if the build ends up not producing the requested artifacts in the same way as -b, -A or -B would. But, this has a nice side-effect, you can also do something like: $ dpkg-buildpackage --changes-option=-g which will perform a normal full build, but filter the generated .changes file to only include source+arch-indep packages. Which I think is what you'd be looking for? Thanks, Guillem -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
