.changes file over several package releases
Hello, Some time ago (just a few weeks) I saw a .changes file, that contained entries for several package releases: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=373770;msg=21 Which trick is used to create such package releases, so the .changes file contains the entries for several releases? Thanks and regards, Daniel -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Hi, * Daniel Leidert [EMAIL PROTECTED] [2007-04-21 21:38]: Some time ago (just a few weeks) I saw a .changes file, that contained entries for several package releases: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=373770;msg=21 Which trick is used to create such package releases, so the .changes file contains the entries for several releases? Is it really a trick? Looks like there were versions in a rcs which weren't packaged and uploaded.

The trick is to use -vversion option with dpkg-buildpackage From man dpkg-buildpackage: -vversion In dpkg-buildpackage, dpkg-genchanges and dpkg-parsechangelog this causes changelog information from all versions strictly later than version to be used.

I thought, it might be something like this, but didn't find it directly. Just grepping without a good keyword isn't really useful. Thanks to all who answered.

Re: .changes file over several package releases
dpkg-buildpackage -v$VERSION One thing to remember about this option is that the .changes file is re-done when a sponsor rebuilds a package. So, if you want your sponsor to do this, please remind us when sending us the to-be-sponsored package. -- Besos, Marga -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.
