Probably a noob question, but I didn't manage to find this information
anywhere. We work on Ubuntu 14.10 and use debchange and git-buildpackage
(thanks to Neil Williams
https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2015/05/msg00375.html) as a part
of packaging process.
1.
For a certain reasons we need to give up default behaviour of debchange.
Here's what our changelogs look like (printed with cuts):
project-name (0.1.1ubuntu8) utopic; urgency=medium
project-name (0.1.1ubuntu7) utopic; urgency=medium
project-name (0.1.1ubuntu6) utopic; urgency=medium
project-name (0.1.1ubuntu5) utopic; urgency=medium
project-name (0.1.1ubuntu4) utopic; urgency=medium
project-name (0.1.1ubuntu3) utopic; urgency=medium
project-name (0.1.1ubuntu2) utopic; urgency=medium
project-name (0.1.1ubuntu1) utopic; urgency=medium
project-name (0.1.1) unstable; urgency=low
Every record (excepting the earliest one) were made with an `dch -i`
command. The problem is in "ubuntu" keyword which is appended to the
every new version. We would like to have a simple build number there
instead of "ubuntu" + build number. `dch -i --vendor=" "` doesn't help here.
2.
If behaviour of debchange cannot be changed, it would be suitable at
least to use custom tag format (without "ubuntu") when tagging the repo
with the following command:
gbp buildpackage --git-builder="debuild -uc -us -j4"
--git-debian-tag="%(version)s" --git-ignore-new --git-tag
--git-posttag="git push && git push --tags"
I didn't find any information about the metavariables that
--git-debian-tag can take. This fills our repo with a tonns of long tags
(like "0.1.1ubuntu1"), but "ubuntu" makes no sense, because we're
packaging only for this distro.
Any help will be appreciated.
Sincerely,
Vitaly Isaev
