Package: devscripts Version: 2.10.10 Severity: wishlist Hi,
I sometimes use version control for a package in a way where I only have the debian/ dir in SVN, and I check that dir out inside an unpacked upstream tarball. This prevents me from using debcommit, because when using it in the "root" of the tarball, it doesn't work because that dir is not under version control. And when I'm in the debian dir, it says it can't find a debian/changelog. I wish that debcommit could cope with this situation. Two suggestions: 1) When the current dir is not under VC, check whether there's a debian/ dir in it which is, or; 2) When debian/changelog not found, check whether the current dir is called "debian" and has a "changelog", then proceed as normal. thanks, Thijs -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.22-3-486 Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages devscripts depends on: ii debianutils 2.27 Miscellaneous utilities specific t ii dpkg-dev 1.14.7 package building tools for Debian ii libc6 2.6.1-6 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii perl 5.8.8-11.1 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction ii sed 4.1.5-4 The GNU sed stream editor Versions of packages devscripts recommends: ii fakeroot 1.8.4 Gives a fake root environment -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
