I have seen you even released v0.1.4 - at least guessing from your

I've sent a mail to debian-med too... It is not arrived... Whatever

I would like to clarify something and I
hope you don't mind if I do this in public. But there might be other
beginners and I would like to keep a record of this explanation.
Ok no problem. As I already say : I'm just a C++ coder, not a linux
guru, even not a debian guru ;)
As I realised you are using the file debian/changelog to describe what
you have changed in FreeDiams. But this is not the intention of the
__debian__/changelog file. This file just describes the changes in
the *Debian* *packaging*.
Ok so the changelog in debian dir must only inform new uploads (and
changes done to the other debian files).
So if there is a new version of FreeDiams
the debian/changelog file would say something like this.
freediams (0.1.4-1) UNRELEASED; urgency=low
^^^
mind this Debian version!!!
Ah ok, so the '-1' stands for debian version of the upstream 0.1.4 (no
changes in the source package). I understand.
What you wrote in this file rather belongs to a so called "upstream
changelog" file which if for instance called "ChangeLog" or
ChangeLog.txt or whatever. Here you can document the changes inside
actual upstream (=FreeDiams) code. If you are mixing this up people
which are not using Debian will probably miss your changelog and from
a packaging point of view it might confuse other packagers.
Yes yes, I thought this changelog was presented to users (eg synaptic
when updating the package), I have therefore included all changes
FreeDiams interesting. If the informations in 'debian/changelog' only
refers to the file debian changes, is there a way to present
application's update informations to users ?
Feel free to ask here or in private if something remains unclear.
Kind regards
Andreas.
Thank you for your explanations.
Eric
