> I think bzr-builddeb (or python-debian) needs to be switched to using the dpkg-mergechangelog implementation
The linked branch, lp:~spiv/bzr-builddeb/use-dpkg-mergechangelogs, does this: it deletes most of merge_changelog.py and just shells out to dpkg- mergechangelogs. However, 3 out of the 8 tests in tests/test_merge_changelog.py fail. I'm attaching the test log. I'd appreciate an Ubuntu dev's opinion regarding whether the divergent behaviour is an improvement or not: it appears that in some cases dpkg- mergechangelogs gives differently ordered output, or claims success where before a conflict would occur. You can also just try out my branch and see if it works better for you! -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/718944 Title: bzr-builddeb merge sorts the changelog by version order, rather than preserving existing ordering To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bzr-builddeb/+bug/718944/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
