I just needed to do a library transition, involving a binary upload to NEW. Without the $build_source entry in my .sbuildrc, it did not produce the necessary files. When uploading the amd64.changes file, this is what was sent:

If you are missing the source.changes, you probably need to add the following to your .sbuildrc (currently documented in the wiki): # Produce a .changes file suitable for a source-only upload; this is the same as passing `--source-only-changes` to sbuild. $source_only_changes = 1; -- Soren Stoutner [email protected]
