Re: dchanges problem

[Dirk.Eddelbuettel@qed.econ.queensu.ca]

I had to play with the new dchanges a bit too, but it is rather
straightforward.  Here is the changes target from one of my current
debian.rules files:

changes: 
	-test -f stamp-build && make -f debian.rules clean
	(cd .. && \
	dchanges -p -e -n ce=$(shortname)/debian.ChangeLog \
	$(fullname).tar.gz $(fullname).$(arch).deb $(fullname).diff.gz; \
	cd - )

where I use the following variables 

package=apmd
version=2.2
debian=0
shortname=$(package)-$(version)
fullname=$(package)-$(version)-$(debian)
dtmp=debian-tmp
arch=$(shell dpkg --print-architecture)

The options for dchanges I use are
	-p	no pgp signing
	-n	no editing
	-e	extended descriptions
	ce=file get changes from this file

Hope this helps,
