I briefly looked at the man page for cvs-buildpackage and it does a lot
of stuff! The only thing is that I am not interested in building debian
packages but maybe in building source tarballs. Can cvs-buildpackage
build source tarballs and manage the changelog generation ?

If not, are there any debianized tools/scripts that would do the same ?
What perl scripts were you talking about ?

A while back, I read on this list about some debian package(s) (wasn't
cvs-buildpackage) that helped in generating and managing changelog
files. But I can't recall the name of the package or track down the
thread in the list archives.

Thanks.
