Package: dgit Version: 15.9 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
When trying to build a backport of a package, it was suggested to pass `--debbuildopts="-v<version>"' so that not only changelog of the backport version (which is usually just "Rebuild for backports"), but also all the changes from the previous versions after <version> are included. Say stable has 1.0-1, and testing has 1.1-1, and with `--debbuildopts="-v1.0-1"' I can have the changelog of both 1.1-1 and 1.1-1~bpo13+1. When I tried to add this to the dgit command, e.g. `dgit sbuild -d trixie-backports --debbuildopts="-v<1.0-1>"', the resulting *_multi.changes only contain the change for 1.1-1~bpo13+1. On close inspection, the *_amd64.changes file did include the changelog of 1.1-1, but the *_source.changes did not. As (I think) dgit uses `mergechanges' to combine these 2 changelogs into *_multi.changes, the *_source.changes took over so the other changelog is lost. I'm not sure whether this is a dgit issue or a sbuild issue, specifically whether it is caused by how dgit invokes sbuild or sbuild somehow does not generate the intended *_source.changes with `--debbuildopts="-v<version>"'. -- System Information: Debian Release: forky/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (200, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 7.0.9+deb14-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU threads; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=C.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=C.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE not set Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages dgit depends on: ii apt 3.3.1 ii ca-certificates 20260223 ii coreutils 9.10-1 ii curl 8.20.0-2 ii devscripts 2.26.9 ii dpkg-dev 1.23.7 ii dput 1.2.4 ii git 1:2.53.0-1 ii git-buildpackage 0.9.42 ii libdpkg-perl 1.23.7 ii libjson-perl 4.10000-1 ii liblist-moreutils-perl 0.430-2 ii liblocale-gettext-perl 1.07-10 ii libtext-csv-perl 2.06-1 ii libtext-glob-perl 0.11-3 ii libtext-iconv-perl 1.7-9 ii libwww-curl-perl 4.17-13+b1 ii perl [libdigest-sha-perl] 5.40.1-7+b1 ii python3 3.13.9-3+b1 Versions of packages dgit recommends: ii distro-info-data 0.69 ii liburi-perl 5.34-2 ii openssh-client [ssh-client] 1:10.3p1-2 Versions of packages dgit suggests: ii sbuild 0.91.9 -- no debconf information -- Regards, Xiyue Deng
