Package: dpkg-dev Version: 1.15.5.6 Severity: normal File: /usr/bin/dpkg-genchanges
Hi! man dpkg-genchanges says the following about the -v option: -vversion Causes changelog information from all versions strictly later than version to be used. Unfortunately that is not true. dpkg-genchanges looks for the exact version string and if not found includes *all* changelog entries into the changes files. This is highly inconvenient for backports where it is often that the newer uploads don't carry along the older changelog entry but people would want to have all changes since the last upload included. It would be really swift if dpkg-genchanges could work like advertised. :) Rhonda -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-dpkg-bugs-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
