little bug in debian/control (2.0.8.2-0ubuntu1)

[Matthieu Baerts]

Binary package hint: cairo-dock-plug-ins

Hello,

In the current debian/control 'cairo-dock-plug-ins' depends of 'cairo-dock' but 'cairo-dock' depends also of 'cairo-dock-plug-ins' !

I join a patch made by debdiff.

Thanks for submitting a patch for this bug report. However, it looks like in your changelog you ended up editing the previous changelog entry, but incremented the package version, instead of adding a new entry above the existing one. Would you mind fixing this? Thanks in advance.

Hi Brian

Sorry but I don't understand what you want.
Yesterday I wanted to post a 'classic' patch (this one in attachment) but Gilir has said to me that a patch with debdiff is easier for MOTU.
It was the first time that I used debdiff and I saw that to create a debdiff we need a new '.dsc' file. And to generate this file I have to incremented the package version.

I'm sorry to don't answer to your question but if I can do another thing in order to resolve this problem, call me ;)

The part I am talking about follows:

You've essentially overwritten the changelog enty for 2.0.8.2-0ubuntu1 with your entry. Perhaps you used dch -e instead of dch -i when updating the changlog? I'd expect it to look something like:

Notice that I also included this Launchpad bug number so it will closed automatically when the new package version is uploaded. I hope this clears things up.

[Matthieu Baerts (matttbe)]

Thanks for this explanation !

I post a correct debdiff now ! (I hope ;) )

[Brian Murray (brian-murray)]

Yes, the debdiff is in the correct format now, thanks!
