I was presuming to do one rollup patch to build out the debian/changelog entry as release time approaches, rather than including changelog messages in the patches themselves. That rollup patch should be fairly easy to do with, e.g.: gbp dch --new-version=0.26-1 debian/ I prefer this approach because: (a) it doesn't confuse changelog messages with patches, and (b) it means that we don't end up with heavily-ordered patches, where it's more difficult merge some patches from a series than others, because each patch to d/changelog depends on the immediately prior changeset. I'd much rather you (or anyone else reviewing) can immediately and trivially pull the changes you like from the series while leaving the ones you're less certain about unmerged, for further discussion. Case in point here, the change to python3-sphinx might be more problematic than i'd originally expected. I wouldn't want anyone to have to rewrite the subsequent trivial patches just to leave that one behind. Is there a reason to prefer patching d/changelog in each individual changeset? --dkg _______________________________________________ notmuch mailing list notmuch@notmuchmail.org https://notmuchmail.org/mailman/listinfo/notmuch
