I probably agree with this advice, although note that dpkg-genchanges has a '-v' option that can be used to include changelog entries from more than just the most recent release. The bugs in the BTS are actually closed by a field in the generated '.changes' file, rather than a script parsing the changelog itself. In the past, I believe some sponsors have asked that every revision of the package uploaded by a mentee has a separate changelog entry, although personally I don't agree with that approach - for me, it's better that the changelog clearly documents what was uploaded to Debian itself. -- Tim Retout <[email protected]> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
