Package: git-buildpackage
Version: 0.9.21
Severity: minor
Dear Maintainer, Guido,
in snapshot mode, header options --distribution (and --urgency) are deliberately
not honored in-code (scripts/dch.py):
---
# This must not be done for snapshots or snapshots changelog entries
# will not be concatenated
if not options.snapshot:
...
---
Afaiu, this comment means when doing a second 'dch --snapshot' (with a custom,
not
UNRELEASED distribution), it would create another CL rather than combining with
the
latter.
I.e., with the restriction in place, the valid use case to set the distribution
is
denied -- however, *without* the restriction, the old behaviour can be achieved
(just
don't specify --distribution), and those who want to set a distribution are
also happy.
(Documentation may be updated that 'dch --snapshot' behaves slightly different
when not using dist=UNRELEASED.)
I am using it locally here with that restriction removed, and not seen any
odd behaviour. But may be I do not get the full picture here?
Thx!
Stephan
