Hm, looks like I was approaching this from the wrong angle. The DEBCHANGE_TZ variable has been introduced to specifically override any environment variables. At least that is my understanding now. What I want can be done like this (unless DEBCHANGE_TZ is set in ~/.devscripts)
TZ=Japan dch -i TZ=Europe/Berlin dch -i ... Makes me wonder if DEBCHANGE_TZ is actually useful (see comment from Loïc Minier in debbug 417261 on Thu, 5 Apr 2007 10:36:39 +0200) instead of detrimental. The documentation should be improved to prevent misunderstandings like in my case. I'll leave this bug open to achieve that. -- RFE: dch should understand cli environment variables https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/330430 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
