Package: devscripts Version: 2.11.8 Severity: wishlist File: /usr/bin/debcommit
Hello, take the case where I have finished working on a new release. I have just done "dch -r" to appropriately update the changelog: ┏rivendell:~/deb/core/dh-linktree (master) ┗(700)$ git diff diff --git a/debian/changelog b/debian/changelog index 982a3c0..f20b5ae 100644 --- a/debian/changelog +++ b/debian/changelog @@ -1,4 +1,4 @@ -dh-linktree (0.3) UNRELEASED; urgency=low +dh-linktree (0.3) unstable; urgency=low * Use File::Spec->canonpath() to standardize the paths given on input.

Try using the -m flag. I would like debcommit to figure out that this was a new release and to automatically use the commit message "Release <package> <version>". I know of "debcommit -r" but I don't necessarily want to create tags at this point. I run my test build, and I put the tag only after I have verified that it's ok to be uploaded.
