Hi, Install karmic and start packaging. Then you will discover this: dch will use karmic as default, but new packages target either lucid or karmic-proposed. lintian does not know lucid. They may be other package, wich are not aware of lucid. Here is my idea to solve this issue:
Introduce a ubuntu-releases package. This package will have a list of all known Ubuntu releases. A small script will give you the needed information, based on the releases list and the current date. Examples: ubuntu-release returns the running series (same as lsb_release -sc) ubuntu-release -d returns the current development series (now it would be lucid) ubuntu-release -s returns the latest stable series (currently it would be karmic) ubuntu-release --lts returns the latest stable lts release (currently hardy) ubuntu-release --supported returns a list of all supported series lintian, dch, and other tools would use ubuntu-release instead of using hardcoded values. Then only one package needs an update, if Mark announce the next codename. I am willing to write this script and to maintain it. What do you think about it? -- Benjamin Drung Ubuntu Developer (www.ubuntu.com) | Debian Maintainer (www.debian.org)
