Package: dpkg-dev Version: 1.19.7 Severity: normal File: /usr/bin/dpkg-genchanges
Hi, I have a package where I want to prepare a stable/buster upload. In this case it is systemd, where the current version in buster is 241-5. I wanted to upload 241-7 from unstable/testing as is to buster. For that I added a changelog entry like this: systemd (241-7~deb10u1) buster; urgency=medium * Rebuild for buster -- Michael Biebl <bi...@debian.org> Sat, 17 Aug 2019 11:00:59 +0200 systemd (241-7) unstable; urgency=medium ... This now triggers a warning from dpkg-genchanges: dpkg-genchanges: warning: the current version (241-7~deb10u1) is earlier than the previous one (241-7) Looking at https://release.debian.org/proposed-updates/stable.html there are quite a few packages which use this naming scheme for uploading unstable/testing versions as-is to stable/buster. Would it be possible to make dpkg-genchanges not warn in such a case?
