Yes. dch -r is the conventional way to do that (and change the timestamp at the same time), but you can just edit it. The idea is that you leave it as 'UNRELEASED' until you really have stopped fiddling and are ready to upload. Some tools take note of this field to stop you accidentally uploading before you are ready. (I don't personally find this useful, but that's why it's there). > will the package be backported > automatically in the future to stable? No. Someone will have to do the work of making any adjustments needed to build in stable and doing an upload to -backports. That can't be done until after it has been accepted into the archive (which can take a while (days to months) after initial upload). https://wiki.debian.org/BuildingFormalBackports https://wiki.debian.org/Backports Wookey -- Principal hats: Linaro, Debian, Wookware, ARM http://wookware.org/
