Hi,

Rainer and I discussed how we could best change the current build scripts
for automatic processing.

Right now, there are two different approaches:
1. The script for the daily builds have the branch and platform
pre-configured in the script and don't need a changelog entry, because
daily builds are purely experimental.
2. The script for regular releases currently needs some input. First the
repack.sh script needs to be run and after that the uploadppa.sh script
which actually prepares the files. In the second script I also need to
select the tarball, branch and platform to build. Also the package
changelog needs to be entered manually. Thus, I need to run the script
multiple times.

Basically, release packages should be built just the same as daily
packages, with as little manual interaction as possible. The scripts for
daily packages already proved that it is not too complicated to let the
build run with different parameters, leaving the changelog being the
problem.

The problem right now is, that we do not know how to approach this the best
way. Currently, the package changelog is generated via dch, but this has to
be done for each different platform. My thought was to have a single
changelog file, which then has the upstream release version automatically
generated (currently done "manually" via dch).

Are there other ways of doing this?
Is there a way to achieve the desired automization?

Ideas and suggestions are very welcome.

Florian
