Package: devscripts Version: 2.10.55 Severity: wishlist I was using debdiff to generate patches for a security upload, as I often do, and noticed that the patch to debian/changelog was buried in the middle of the code changes. When reading such patches, it's nice to see the summary in the form of the changelog diff first, so I manually reordered it.
It would be cool if debdiff could do this automatically somehow, rewriting the generated diff so that any diff to debian/changelog is presented first. (Possibly not by default but only with another option, since it would mean not streaming the output.) -- Package-specific info: --- /etc/devscripts.conf --- --- ~/.devscripts --- DEBCHANGE_RELEASE_HEURISTIC=changelog DEBCOMMIT_STRIP_MESSAGE=no -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.30-1-686-bigmem (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages devscripts depends on: ii dpkg-dev 1.15.3.1 Debian package development tools ii libc6 2.9-25 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii perl 5.10.0-25 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction Versions of packages devscripts recommends: ii at 3.1.11-1 Delayed job execution and batch pr ii bsd-mailx [mailx] 8.1.2-0.20090911cvs-1 simple mail user agent ii curl 7.19.5-1.1 Get a file from an HTTP, HTTPS or ii cvs 1:1.12.13-12 Concurrent Versions System ii dctrl-tools 2.13.1 Command-line tools to process Debi ii debian-keyring [de 2009.08.27 GnuPG (and obsolete PGP) keys of D ii dput 0.9.5.1 Debian package upload tool ii elinks [www-browse 0.12~pre5-1+b1 advanced text-mode WWW browser ii equivs 2.0.7-0.1 Circumvent Debian package dependen ii fakeroot 1.13 Gives a fake root environment ii git-core 1:1.6.3.3-2 fast, scalable, distributed revisi ii gnupg 1.4.9-4 GNU privacy guard - a free PGP rep ii iceweasel [www-bro 3.0.14-1 lightweight web browser based on M ii libauthen-sasl-per 2.12-1 Authen::SASL - SASL Authentication ii libcrypt-ssleay-pe 0.57-2 Support for https protocol in LWP ii libparse-debcontro 2.005-2 Easy OO parsing of Debian control- ii libsoap-lite-perl 0.710.08-2 Client and server side SOAP implem ii libterm-size-perl 0.2-4+b1 Perl extension for retrieving term ii libtimedate-perl 1.1600-9 Time and date functions for Perl ii liburi-perl 1.37+dfsg-1 Manipulates and accesses URI strin ii libwww-perl 5.831-1 WWW client/server library for Perl ii libyaml-syck-perl 1.07-1 fast, lightweight YAML loader and ii lintian 2.2.17 Debian package checker ii lsb-release 3.2-23 Linux Standard Base version report ii lynx-cur [www-brow 2.8.8dev.1-1 Text-mode WWW Browser with NLS sup ii lzma 4.43-14 Compression method of 7z format in ii man-db 2.5.6-2 on-line manual pager ii openssh-client [ss 1:5.1p1-7 secure shell client, an rlogin/rsh ii patch 2.5.9-5 Apply a diff file to an original ii patchutils 0.3.1-2 Utilities to work with patches ii sensible-utils 0.0.1 Utilities for sensible alternative ii strace 4.5.17+cvs080723-2 A system call tracer ii subversion 1.6.3dfsg-1 Advanced version control system ii unzip 6.0-1 De-archiver for .zip files ii w3m [www-browser] 0.5.2-2.1 WWW browsable pager with excellent ii wdiff 0.5-19 Compares two files word by word ii wget 1.11.4-4 retrieves files from the web Versions of packages devscripts suggests: ii build-essential 11.4 Informational list of build-essent pn cvs-buildpackage <none> (no description available) ii devscripts-el 30.5-1 Emacs wrappers for the commands in pn gnuplot <none> (no description available) pn libfile-desktopentry-perl <none> (no description available) ii libnet-smtp-ssl-perl 1.01-2 SSL support for Net::SMTP ii mutt 1.5.20-2 text-based mailreader supporting M ii svn-buildpackage 0.6.27 helper programs to maintain Debian -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
