Package: devscripts Version: 2.11.3 Severity: wishlist User: [email protected] Usertags: debchange
Dear Devscripts Maintainers, it would be nice if debchange would have an option to increment the epoch (or add an epoch of 1 if none is present). While this is a quite seldom though valid case for normal packaging, it would be mostly helpful for generating locally modified packages that should not be overwritten by automatic security updates. An example from my work today: $ quilt delete this-and-that.patch $ dch -l+ourcompany 'Remove this-and-that.patch' $ sed -e '1 s/(2:/(3:/' -i debian/changelog $ dch 'Bump epoch to prevent automatic updates for now' It would be nice if dch would offer an option to do that sed part. That option should work together at least with -l, likely also with other version number changing options. -- Package-specific info:
