Package: git-buildpackage Version: 0.9.21 Severity: minor Dear Maintainer, Guido,
in snapshot mode, header options --distribution (and --urgency) are deliberately not honored in-code (scripts/dch.py): --- # This must not be done for snapshots or snapshots changelog entries # will not be concatenated if not options.snapshot: ... --- Afaiu, this comment means when doing a second 'dch --snapshot' (with a custom, not UNRELEASED distribution), it would create another CL rather than combining with the latter. I.e., with the restriction in place, the valid use case to set the distribution is denied -- however, *without* the restriction, the old behaviour can be achieved (just don't specify --distribution), and those who want to set a distribution are also happy. (Documentation may be updated that 'dch --snapshot' behaves slightly different when not using dist=UNRELEASED.) I am using it locally here with that restriction removed, and not seen any odd behaviour. But may be I do not get the full picture here? Thx!
