Sorry, this is plain stupid. You can't rely on the availability of the changelog file. If you want to avoid the duplication, put a placeholder in the source file and replace it at build time. our $version = "@VERSION@"; and then sed -i -e "s/@VERSION@/$VERSION/" (with VERSION=$(dpkg-parsechangelog -SVersion)) Cheers, -- Raphaël Hertzog ◈ Debian Developer Discover the Debian Administrator's Handbook: → http://debian-handbook.info/get/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
