Hi, I'm not sure if a something like this is worth including in devscripts, but I found that it wasn't fun to worry about all the potential mistakes one could make when building formal backports, so I've been using a script to prevent errors such as: * building a backport on the wrong branch (lintian catches bad changelog entries) * building a backport in the wrong chroot/schroot/LXC or with the wrong pbuilder tarball * forgetting to generate the correct foo.changes file, or generating one against the wrong version * not realising that a backport will need to pass through NEW https://salsa.debian.org/sten-guest/backport With confirmation that it would be useful to other people I'll be motivated to extend it beyond the basic minimum functionality that I use. I understand having to edit a script to make it work is less than optimal ;-) Cheers, Nicholas
