--- Begin Message ---Package: libparse-debianchangelog-perl Version: 1.0-1 For a brief period of time, the way to close a bug on package upload was to add a "closes" header to the changelog entry, e.g.: nqc (2.0.2-2) unstable; closes=50669; urgency=low * New upstream documentation. Fixes Bug#50669. Thanks to Jim Studt <[email protected]> for reporting this. -- Ben Pfaff <[email protected]> Sat, 20 Nov 1999 01:11:32 -0500 Modern lintian complains about this, with syntax-error-in-debian-changelog "unknown key-value key Closes - copying to XS-Closes". I'm not eager to "change history" by deleting the closes keyword or by changing the entry to use the newer "Closes: #xyz" syntax, although I certainly could do so. Could lintian be changed to accept this keyword? Perhaps it could just accept it for changelog entries before some date. -- On Perl: "It's as if H.P. Lovecraft, returned from the dead and speaking by seance to Larry Wall, designed a language both elegant and terrifying for his Elder Things to write programs in, and forgot that the Shoggoths didn't turn out quite so well in the long run." --Matt Olson
