Package: devscripts Version: 2.26.9 Severity: minor Hi,
I would expect "debchange -r XX" to *either* append the XX to the existing UNRELEASED entry before finalizing it (or create a new entry with XX, if there is no "unreleased" thing) *or* complain that "-r" is purely for releasing and doesn't take a non-option argument. As it is, the argument is silently ignored, which is not a good idea in general. -- Package-specific info: --- /etc/devscripts.conf --- Empty. --- ~/.devscripts --- Not present -- System Information: Debian Release: forky/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (800, 'unstable'), (750, 'testing'), (700, 'stable'), (650, 'experimental'), (600, 'oldstable'), (500, 'stable-security'), (500, 'oldstable-security') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 7.1-amd64 (SMP w/32 CPU threads; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=de_DE.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=de_DE.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 devscripts depends on: ii dpkg-dev 1.23.7 ii file 1:5.47-4 ii gpg 2.4.9-5 ii gpg-agent 2.4.9-5 ii gpgv 2.4.9-5 ii libconfig-inifiles-perl 3.000003-5 ii libdpkg-perl 1.23.7 ii libfile-dirlist-perl 0.05-3 ii libfile-homedir-perl 1.006-2 ii libfile-touch-perl 0.12-2 ii libio-string-perl 1.08-4 ii libmoo-perl 2.005005-1 ii libwww-perl 6.83-1 ii libyaml-libyaml-perl 0.907.0+ds-1 ii patchutils 0.4.5-1 ii perl 5.40.1-8 ii python3 3.14.6-1 ii sensible-utils 0.0.26 ii wdiff 1.2.2-9 Versions of packages devscripts recommends: ii apt 3.3.1 ii curl 8.21.0-2 ii dctrl-tools 2.24-3+b1 ii debian-keyring 2026.06.27 ii debian-tag2upload-keyring 1.2 ii diffstat 1.69-1 ii dput 1.2.4 ii equivs 2.3.3 ii git-debpush 15.10 ii libdistro-info-perl 1.15 ii libencode-locale-perl 1.05-3 ii libgitlab-api-v4-perl 0.27-1 ii libjson-perl 4.10000-1 ii liblwp-protocol-https-perl 6.15-1 ii libmetacpan-client-perl 2.043000-1 ii libsoap-lite-perl 1.27-3 ii libstring-shellquote-perl 1.04-3 ii liburi-perl 5.35-1 ii licensecheck 3.3.9-1 ii lintian 2.137.1 ii lzip 1.26-1 ii man-db 2.13.1-1 ii patch 2.8-2 ii pristine-tar 1.50+nmu2 ii python3-apt 3.1.0 ii python3-debian 1.1.1 ii python3-magic 2:0.4.27-5 ii python3-requests 2.32.5+dfsg-2 ii python3-unidiff 0.7.5-2 ii python3-xdg 0.28-3 ii sbuild 0.91.10 ii strace 7.0+ds-1 ii unzip 6.0-29 ii wget 1.25.0-2 ii xz-utils 5.8.3-1 Versions of packages devscripts suggests: pn adequate <none> pn at <none> pn autopkgtest <none> pn bls-standalone <none> ii build-essential 12.12 pn check-all-the-things <none> ii debhelper 14.2 pn diffoscope <none> pn disorderfs <none> pn docker.io <none> pn dose-extra <none> pn duck <none> pn elpa-devscripts <none> pn faketime <none> pn gnuplot <none> pn how-can-i-help <none> ii libauthen-sasl-perl 2.2000-1 pn libdbd-pg-perl <none> pn libterm-size-perl <none> ii libtimedate-perl 2.3500-1 ii mailutils [mailx] 1:3.20-3+b2 ii mmdebstrap 1.5.7-3 ii mutt 2.4.0-1 ii nullmailer [mail-transport-agent] 1:2.2+10~g7ed88a0-6.1 ii openssh-client [ssh-client] 1:10.3p1-5 pn piuparts <none> pn postgresql-client <none> pn pristine-lfs <none> ii python3-debianbts 4.1.1 pn python3-pycurl <none> pn quilt <none> pn ratt <none> pn reprotest <none> pn svn-buildpackage <none> pn w3m <none> -- no debconf information
