Package: devscripts
Version: 2.10.69+squeeze1
Severity: wishlist
Python programs typically contain a setup.py script, which does
all sorts of magic. Some additional magic from Debian then turns
the first magic into a proper Debian package, following the Debian
Python policy.
setup.py includes the upstream version number. When updating
a package it is sadly very easy to forget updating debian/changelog,
resulting in some confusion to users.
A tool such as the shell script below would be nice to include
in devscripts to automate a check that the version numbers match.
I run such a tool from debian/rules, but it would be possible to
run it also from the command line.
-- 8< -- 8< -- 8< --
#!/bin/sh
v1="$(python setup.py --version)"
v2="$(dpkg-parsechangelog | awk '/^Version:/ { print $2 }' | sed 's/-[^-]*$//')"
if [ "$v1" != "$v2" ]
then
echo "setup.py report version $v1" 1>&2
echo "debian/changelog reports version $v2" 1>&2
echo "they do not match!"
exit 1
fi

free license that the devscripts maintainers like is OK with me.)
