I guess I do not understand the instructions on the website: Include all changelog entries since the last version on backports.org or since stable if it’s the first version. The last version on backports.org is 1.0.8-1, the next version in testing is 1.0.9-1, with no versions between. The above sentence from the contribute page means to me, "Include any changelog entries after 1.0.8-1 up to 1.0.9-1", which is what I did. However, I can see an ambiguity in those instructions, so if I read it another way, maybe you want this to include the changelog entries /including/ 1.0.8-1, even though they are already in backports.org, and /also/ include the changelog entries from 1.0.9-1, and those should be included /in/ the *.changes itself (rather than just in the /usr/share/doc/<package>/changelog.Debian). If I am correct in clarifying my understanding here, I would like to offer a suggested re-wording of that requirement so it is unambigous. > I mean that one: > libdaemons-ruby (1.0.9-1) unstable; urgency=low > . > [ Filipe Lautert ] > * New upstream version. > * Added 'Dm-Upload-Allowed: yes' field to debian/control file. > . > [ Paul van Tilburg ] > * Added Homepage and Vcs-* fields. > * Bumped standards version to 3.7.3; no changes > * required. > > I really don't want to see changelogs like "Rebuild for backports.org". I made no changes to the package, other than rebuild it in an etch environment, had there been changes required, then I would have detailed what changes were required. However, if I am reading you correctly, it seems like you would like included in the *.changes file the package changelogs, as well as any backports.org changes that were required to backport the package (duplicating what is in /usr/share/doc/<package>/changelog.Debian), correct? Thanks for pointing this out, I would like to make sure I am doing it correctly, and if this is clarified I'd be happy to suggest some alternate re-wording of the instructions to make it more explicitly clear so future people will not fail to read the proper meaning. micah
