Bug#916877: lintian: check that 1.2-3~debXuY changelog stanza follows a 1.2-3 changelog stanza
Package: lintian
Severity: wishlist
Hi,
I just wanted to answer "Is #910434 fixed in sid?" but the changelog
entry is inconclusive ...
spamassassin (3.4.2-1~deb9u1) stretch; urgency=high
* lots of changes
spamassassin (3.4.1-8) unstable; urgency=medium
* lost of changes
...
I would rather have liked to see something
spamassassin (3.4.2-1~deb9u1) stretch; urgency=high
* Rebuild for stretch.
* With this additional change.
spamassassin (3.4.2-1) unstable; urgency=high
* lots of changes
spamassassin (3.4.1-8) unstable; urgency=medium
* lost of changes
...
IMO, a 1.2-3~debXuY changelog stanza should always be accompanied by a
1.2-3 changelog stanza, so that implies using -v$currentversioninstable
Perhaps lintian could nag a bit about this ...
maybe similar to "backports changes missing"
Andreas
