Package: dpkg-dev-el
Version: 35.1
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch
Hi,
I'm quite often generating Debian packages for local use only, or for
clients. These packages eventually end up in APT repositories different
than the Debian ones, so the "distribution" field in their changelog has
different constraints. I would therefore like its allowed values to be
customizable, and I propose a defcustom to be added, and the defun to be
changed to something like the following:
$ diff -u /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/dpkg-dev-el/debian-changelog-mode.el
~/lib/lisp/
--- /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/dpkg-dev-el/debian-changelog-mode.el

This patch doesn't touch the generation of the menus (where the
distribution list is still hardcoded), nor the default distribution for
new versions (which is still either unstable or UNRELEASED depending on
the last version), but it should be a good start.
For context, and for anyone who might be interested: my .emacs registers
lld-set-debian-changelog-mailing-address and
lld-set-debian-changelog-allowed-distributions into
debian-changelog-mode-hook, with these functions defined as follows:
,----
| (defun lld-set-debian-changelog-mailing-address ()
| (when (string-match "/home/roland/gnurandal/.*/debian/changelog"
buffer-file-name)
| (make-variable-buffer-local 'debian-changelog-mailing-address)
| (setq debian-changelog-mailing-address "[email protected]")
| )
| )
|
| (defun lld-set-debian-changelog-allowed-distributions ()
| (when (string-match "/home/roland/gnurandal/.*/debian/changelog"
buffer-file-name)
| (make-variable-buffer-local 'debian-changelog-allowed-distributions)
| (when (string-match
"/home/roland/gnurandal/.*/client1/.*/debian/changelog" buffer-file-name)
| (setq debian-changelog-allowed-distributions '("client1")))
| (when (string-match
"/home/roland/gnurandal/.*/client2/.*/debian/changelog" buffer-file-name)
| (setq debian-changelog-allowed-distributions '("client2")))
| (when (string-match
"/home/roland/gnurandal/.*/client3/.*/debian/changelog" buffer-file-name)
| (setq debian-changelog-allowed-distributions '("client3")))
| (when (string-match
"/home/roland/gnurandal/.*/client4/.*/debian/changelog" buffer-file-name)
| (setq debian-changelog-allowed-distributions '("client4")))
| )
| )
`----
…so when I work on a Debian package stored in the part of my $HOME that
I use for work, the email address and the distributions are
automatically adjusted.
