Package: devscripts
Version: 2.10.50
Severity: minor
File: /usr/bin/dch
When working from a dumb terminal, my EDITOR is set to ed.
I happened to try to use dch in such a situation today, and this is what
happened:
$ dch
+4: No such file or directory
Q
dch: debian/changelog unmodified; exiting.
$
It appears that dch assumes that all editors accept an offset argument,
e.g. "emacs +20 foo.txt" to open foo.txt and put the cursor on the
twentieth line. I can't see any way to tell dch not to assume this.
