Package: devscripts Version: 2.10.6 Severity: wishlist When sponsoring and when preparing packages that have interim releases in projects like Emdebian, I need to use the -v option to dpkg-genchanges (via debuild/pdebuild/pbuilder) to include all changes since the last Debian version into the .changes file.
The only area where this does not work is tagpending. parsechangelog supports '-v' to mimic the generated .changes and it would be good for tagpending to also support -v by passing the argument directly to parsechangelog. e.g. When emdebian-tools was at 0.2.0 in Debian, 0.2.6 was already in Emdebian. When uploading emdebian-tools 0.3.0 to Debian, I used -v0.2.0 to generate a .changes that correctly identified 9 bugs as being closed in that upload. However, tagpending was unable to locate all 9 - only the one bug specifically closed in the 0.3.0 changelog entry. http://packages.qa.debian.org/e/emdebian-tools/news/20070706T230202Z.html --- System information. --- Architecture: amd64 Kernel: Linux 2.6.21-2-amd64 Debian Release: lenny/sid 500 unstable www.linux.codehelp.co.uk 500 unstable www.emdebian.org 500 unstable ftp.uk.debian.org --- Package information. --- Depends (Version) | Installed ==========================-+-=========== dpkg-dev | 1.14.5 debianutils (>= 2.0) | 2.22.1 perl (>= 5.8) | 5.8.8-7 sed (>= 2.95) | 4.1.5-2 libc6 (>= 2.5-5) | 2.6-2 -- Neil Williams ============= http://www.data-freedom.org/ http://www.nosoftwarepatents.com/ http://www.linux.codehelp.co.uk/
