Package: distro-info Version: 0.3 Severity: wishlist Hi,
I used to build binary packages for different distributions starting from the same source package, more or less like documented in: http://wiki.debian.org/PbuilderTricks#How_to_build_for_different_distributions and for that to work it is needed to retrieve the distribution alias (stable, unstable) from the codename. Maybe distro-utils can provide such functionality: $ distro-info --alias sid unstable $ distro-info --alias squeeze testing $ distro-info --alias natty natty This could also be used to play with debian/changelog when building for distributions different from 'unstable', AFAIR debian/changelog expects the alias (stable, unstable) in the distribution field, not the codename. What do you think about that?
