Building packages with epoch
Dear all!
I have a question concerning packages with epoch: We are preparing a NMU
(maintainer approved) for tipa which currently is of version
2:1.2-2
When I get the source package via apt-get source tipa and rebuild the
package with
dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc -rfakeroot
I get a binary package called
tipa_1.2-2_all.deb
and not
tipa_2%3a1.2-2_all.deb
But the internal version number (in the control file) of the package
is correct, as one can see when calling scanpackages I get a correct
entry:
Package: tipa
Version: 2:1.2-2
Any suggestions? What is the correct way to build packages with epoch?
Best wishes
Norbert
