Package: bzr-builddeb
Version: 2.7.2
Severity: normal
Changes in version 2.7 have caused bzr-builddeb to start confirming
the distribution named in the changelog matches a Debian or Ubuntu
distribution that it knows about.
In doing so, you have rendered bzr-builddeb useless to me, and perhaps
others.
I maintain a private repository using reprepro for branches of
packages I have tweaked or that are inapplicable to a wider audience,
and to make sure that I don't accidentally upload one to a public
repository, I have taken to setting the distribution in the changelog
to 'private'.
Unfortunately, with the update to version 2.7.2, I can no longer build
such packages with bzr-builddeb, because I now get:
Building branch from revision
[email protected]
bzr: ERROR: Unknown distribution: private.
This seems unnecessarily restrictive, and looking at the code, I can't
understand why this error exists---it would seem to be a heuristic
meant to be convenient to Ubuntu users, but it hardly seems like a
requirement.
I would recommend that this be turned into a warning, at most, or at
least give a user a way to not have it be a fatal error
Prior versions had no problem with any of this, and for the moment I
have downgraded bzr-builddeb to 2.4 to avoid this issue.
