Package: devscripts Version: 2.17.6+deb9u1 Severity: minor Consider dch -r `foo'
dch ignores `foo', which is `TEXT', in the sense that `foo' does not appear in the resulting changelog entry. *But* if you don't supply `foo' dch runs an editor. And there's no other way to stop it doing so because --no-edit is (unaccountably) not supported. This is all rather odd. (I need noninteractive dch in the dgit test suite, so please don't just change it without disucssion...) Thanks, Ian. -- Package-specific info: --- /etc/devscripts.conf --- --- ~/.devscripts --- DEBSIGN_KEYID=0x48B50D39 GREP_EXCUSES_AUTOPKGTESTS=1 -- System Information: Debian Release: 9.4 APT prefers stable-debug APT policy: (500, 'stable-debug'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.9.0-6-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=C.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=C.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=C.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: sysvinit (via /sbin/init) Versions of packages devscripts depends on: ii dpkg-dev 1.18.24 ii libc6 2.24-11+deb9u3 ii libfile-homedir-perl 1.00-1 ii perl 5.24.1-3+deb9u4 ii python3 3.5.3-1 Versions of packages devscripts recommends: ii apt 1.4.8 ii at 3.1.20-3 ii curl 7.52.1-5+deb9u6 ii dctrl-tools 2.24-2+b1 ii debian-keyring 2017.05.28 ii dput 0.12.1 ii dupload 2.8.4 pn equivs <none> ii fakeroot 1.21-3.1 ii file 1:5.30-1+deb9u1 ii gnupg 2.1.18-8~deb9u2 ii gnupg2 2.1.18-8~deb9u2 pn libdistro-info-perl <none> ii libdpkg-perl 1.18.24 ii libencode-locale-perl 1.05-1 ii libgit-wrapper-perl 0.047-1 ii liblist-compare-perl 0.53-1 ii liblwp-protocol-https-perl 6.06-2 ii libsoap-lite-perl 1.20-1 ii liburi-perl 1.71-1 ii libwww-perl 6.15-1 pn licensecheck <none> ii lintian 2.5.50.4 ii man-db 2.7.6.1-2 ii patch 2.7.5-1+b2 ii patchutils 0.3.4-2 ii python3-debian 0.1.30 pn python3-magic <none> ii sensible-utils 0.0.9+deb9u1 ii strace 4.15-2 ii unzip 6.0-21 ii wdiff 1.2.2-2 ii wget 1.18-5+deb9u2 ii xz-utils 5.2.2-1.2+b1 Versions of packages devscripts suggests: pn adequate <none> ii autopkgtest 4.4 pn bls-standalone <none> ii build-essential 12.3 pn check-all-the-things <none> pn cvs-buildpackage <none> ii devscripts-el 36.3+nmu1 pn diffoscope <none> pn disorderfs <none> pn dose-extra <none> pn duck <none> ii faketime 0.9.6-7+b1 ii gnuplot 5.0.5+dfsg1-6+deb9u1 ii gpgv 2.1.18-8~deb9u2 pn how-can-i-help <none> ii libauthen-sasl-perl 2.1600-1 ii libfile-desktopentry-perl 0.22-1 pn libnet-smtps-perl <none> pn libterm-size-perl <none> ii libtimedate-perl 2.3000-2 ii libyaml-syck-perl 1.29-1+b2 ii mailutils [mailx] 1:3.1.1-1 pn mozilla-devscripts <none> pn mutt <none> ii openssh-client [ssh-client] 1:7.4p1-10+deb9u3 pn piuparts <none> pn ratt <none> pn reprotest <none> pn svn-buildpackage <none> ii w3m 0.5.3-34+deb9u1 -- no debconf information
