The manpage says:
-vversion
In dpkg-buildpackage, dpkg-genchanges and dpkg-parsechangelog
this causes changelog information from all versions strictly
later than version to be used.
Doesn't this mean that if I have in the changelog:
0.7.0+1.0beta1-1
0.7.0+1.0beta1-2
0.7.0+1.0beta1-3
0.6.0-4
and I give -v0.7.0+1.0beta1-1 the changelog for -2 and -3 is included?
Moreover doesn't this mean that if I give 0.7.0 (which I have not done)
the changelog for -1 -2 and -3 is included? From the documentation it seems
so...
Thanks,
Guido
