Package: git-buildpackage Version: 0.8.13 Severity: wishlist Dear Maintainer,
It seems I can't use gbp dch to programatically define the version number suffix of a build with gbp-dch, but I can with regular dch, via -l. For example, if I have a changelog entry for "foo 1.0-1testing6", I can pass "-l testing" to dch and get "1.0-1testing7" in the changelog, whereas without the -l flag, I get "1.0-1testing6ubuntu1". I tried abusing the snapshot versioning scheme to achieve the same effect, but still ended up needing to post-process the changelog to make it useful. -- System Information: Debian Release: stretch/sid APT prefers xenial-updates APT policy: (500, 'xenial-updates'), (500, 'xenial-security'), (500, 'xenial'), (100, 'xenial-backports') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.4.0-66-generic (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 Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages git-buildpackage depends on: ii devscripts 2.16.2ubuntu3 ii git 1:2.7.4-0ubuntu1 ii man-db 2.7.5-1 ii python-dateutil 2.4.2-1 ii python-pkg-resources 20.7.0-1 ii python-six 1.10.0-3 pn python:any <none> Versions of packages git-buildpackage recommends: ii pbuilder 0.223 ii pristine-tar 1.33 ii python-requests 2.9.1-3 Versions of packages git-buildpackage suggests: pn python-notify <none> ii sudo 1.8.16-0ubuntu1.3 ii unzip 6.0-20ubuntu1 -- no debconf information
