Once you are happy with the changes then use `bzr commit`. + + +Referring to versions of a package +================================== + +You will often think in terms of versions of a package, rather than the +underlying Bazaar revision numbers. `bzr-builddeb` provides a revision +specifier that makes this convenient. Any command that takes a ``-r`` +argument to specify a revision or revision range will work with this +specifier, e.g. ``bzr log``, ``bzr diff``, and so on. To view the versions of +a package, use the ``package:`` specifier:: + + $ bzr diff -r package:0.1-1..package:0.1-2 + +This shows you the difference between package version 0.1-1 and 0.1-2.
