Package: dpkg-dev Version: 1.13.25 Severity: minor When you try --help switch you will get something like this:
$ dpkg-buildpackage --help Usage: dpkg-buildpackage [<options> ...] Options: -r<gain-root-command> [...] You need a passphrase to unlock the secret key for user ... [...] Of curse this question about passphrase for gpg key is not useful here. And btw: It would be nice If we could see help output when current dir!=sources dir. Now when I try to see help, and my current directory is home dir dpkg-builpackage displays only this warning: ~$ dpkg-buildpackage --help dpkg-parsechangelog: error: cannot open debian/changelog to find format: No such file or directory dpkg-buildpackage: cannot determine name of current package ~$ I would be nice to see help messages in every directory. -- System Information: Debian Release: 4.0 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.18-4-686 Locale: LANG=pl_PL, LC_CTYPE=pl_PL (charmap=ISO-8859-2) Versions of packages dpkg-dev depends on: ii binutils 2.17-1 The GNU assembler, linker and bina ii cpio 2.6-17 GNU cpio -- a program to manage ar ii dpkg 1.13.25 package maintenance system for Deb ii make 3.81-2 The GNU version of the "make" util ii patch 2.5.9-4 Apply a diff file to an original ii perl [perl5] 5.8.8-6.1 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction ii perl-modules 5.8.8-6.1 Core Perl modules Versions of packages dpkg-dev recommends: ii bzip2 1.0.3-4 high-quality block-sorting file co ii gcc [c-compiler] 4:4.1.1-15 The GNU C compiler ii gcc-3.3 [c-compiler] 1:3.3.6-13 The GNU C compiler ii gcc-3.4 [c-compiler] 3.4.6-5 The GNU C compiler ii gcc-4.0 [c-compiler] 4.0.3-1 The GNU C compiler ii gcc-4.1 [c-compiler] 4.1.1-21 The GNU C compiler -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
