help to fix lintian problems, NMU issue
Hi,
I'm trying to fix the following issues:
W: libpam-ssh-agent-auth source: changelog-should-mention-nmu
W: libpam-ssh-agent-auth source: source-nmu-has-incorrect-version-number 0.9.5-2
I don't want to do a NMU because there hasn't been a Debian package for it
before. The problem is, the upstream version is 0.9.5, so normally I
should use 0.9.5-1 as the latest version. However, the upstream chose to
put 0.9.5-1 in the changelog file, So I chose 0.9.5-1.1. Failing that, I chose 0.9.5-2.
This is how my debian/changelog looks.
----------------------------
libpam-ssh-agent-auth (0.9.5-2) unstable; urgency=low
* Debian release in dpkg-source 3.0 (quilt) format
-- Tong Sun (vub) <suntong001@users.sourceforge.net> Mon, 08 Jul 2013 10:22:07 -0400
libpam-ssh-agent-auth (0.9.5-1) stable; urgency=low
* Portability fixes for BSD/Mac

----------------------------
While trying to fix it myself again, I changed my debian/changelog into this:
----------------------------
pam-ssh-agent-auth (0.9.5-1) unstable; urgency=low
* Debian release in dpkg-source 3.0 (quilt) format
-- Tong Sun (vub) <suntong001@users.sourceforge.net> Mon, 08 Jul 2013 10:52:14 -0400
pam-ssh-agent-auth (0.9.5) stable; urgency=low
* Portability fixes for BSD/Mac
-- Jamie Beverly <soupboy@sourceforge.net> Thu, 21 Feb 2013 18:12:00 -0800
----------------------------
But still, I get the similar lintian error. How to solve it properly?
Thanks
PS. To that specific someone who "helped" before, please bear with the first-time packer who wants to help out and maintain Debian packages. I'm new to Debian packaging and I need detailed helps. Throwing back with a question like "Why did you make the package version look like it's NMU then?" is not helping at all. I admit you have superior Debian packaging knowledge, but if your intention is just to show off your knowledge with a condescending attitude, instead of making some solid helps, I'd rather you leave me alone and let others to help. Thank you very much for NOT "helping".
