That line is allowed to be longer than 80 columns because all of the fields are specified in policy and cannot be altered. > Should I change "urgency=low" to "urgency=medium"? No, the default urgency is medium. Low is for changes that you expect to break things, so you want extra testing in unstable. High is for important security updates. > > Here is the lintian warning: > > > > W: ibus-avro: debian-changelog-line-too-long [usr/share/doc/ibus-avro/ > > changelog.Debian.gz:5] > > N: > > N: The given line of the latest changelog entry is over 80 columns.

You can find it by running “lintian -iIE --pedantic” on your computer. As long as we are looking at the changelog, the first line should be: ibus-avro (1.2+git20230914-3) UNRELEASED; urgency=low You should only change it to “unstable” once everything is ready to be released. This becomes particularly important when more than one person is working on a package. -- Soren Stoutner [email protected]
