There's no question obscure enough to justify a private question, just use [email protected] (or check the sources).

It should be possible to parse debian/changelog later in the process but I'm not convinced that it's a good idea. In which target of debian/rules are you updating the changelog file? What set of commands do you want your users to have to type and where do they get the sources from? > I know that this usage of dpkg-buildpackage is not really supported but > as upstream developers tend to suggest people to try the latest version > it seems the best possibility for keeping systems clean for Debian > users... Is the debian directory provided by upstream? Cheers, -- Raphaël Hertzog Like what I do?
