Hmm, so it can. The name of the change file does not matter, at least according to <87zjfl46kd@deep-thought.43-1.org> -- see shy jo signature.asc Description: Digital signature

I've added the options to both dpkg-buildpackage and dpkg-genchanges, -g and -G, for source+arch-indep and source+arch-dep respectively (although I'm not entirely happy with the names, but that's the best that I could find that matches the current pattern, I'll probably add either long options or a build-type selector option in the future). And dpkg-buildpackage will pass those down to dpkg-genchanges. It will also fail if the build ends up not producing the requested artifacts in the same way as -b, -A or -B would. But, this has a nice side-effect, you can also do something like: $ dpkg-buildpackage --changes-option=-g which will perform a normal full build, but filter the generated .changes file to only include source+arch-indep packages. Which I think is what you'd be looking for? Thanks, Guillem -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Funnily this can already be done with “dpkg-buildpackage --changes-option=-S” but it will generate a _.changes file that list only the source package (that's because the filename is decided by dpkg-buildpackage while the content comes from dpkg-genchanges). So it's definitely not the good answer to your request. In fact, this would require a separate option for an extra dpkg-genchanges call. Something like --extra-changes="-S"...

An added wrinkle is that -S doesn't build arch specific debs at all, of course, but a responsible user of this new DAK feature will want to build debs, lintian and test the locally, but not upload them. I think this calls for more than a generic filling in of the complements to -S. It's fine to add those options to dpkg-genchanges, but dpkg-buildpackage would be improved by an option that built everything, and then told dpkg-genchanges to only put source and arch:all in the changes. -- see shy jo signature.asc Description: Digital signature

Perhaps > --minimal? Hmm, I had already pondered about this when I saw the announcement. So, while I agree such option would make life easier for people that want to do “almost-source-only uploads” right now (because TBH the other alternatives are very annoying), on first thought this seemed to be a very non-generic and DAK specific option, and less useful if this is going to be a short temporary situation. But then there's (AFAICS) only two missing combinations in the tools, source+arch-dep and source+arch-indep, so I guess if I add both, then it keeps being quite generic. :) I'll try to include this for 1.17.11, which I'm planning to release RSN.

Bug#756975: dpkg-genchanges option to only include arch:all debs
Package: dpkg-dev Version: 1.17.10 Severity: wishlist Now that the archive supports source-only uploads, with the exception that arch:all debs have to still be uploaded (as no autobuilder is responsible for them), dpkg-genchanges -S is useful, but not quite right. It would be good to have an option that is like -S but includes arch:all debs, until such a time as the archive stops needing them. Perhaps --minimal? -- see shy jo signature.asc Description: Digital signature
