From 0741ea44e0744dc6539f5e10a24bd35e6739caa7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Russ Allbery Date: Fri, 30 Nov 2007 03:43:56 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] Source in .changes may contain a version number Per recent mail from Guillem Jover, the version number is also added to the Source field of .changes files for binNMUs. This change was made in dpkg 1.13.22 and is therefore currently in stable. dak also now supports it. git-archimport-id: rra@debian.org--lenny/debian-policy--devel--3.7--patch-12 --- debian/changelog | 2 ++ policy.sgml | 10 +++++----- upgrading-checklist.html | 2 ++ 3 files changed, 9 insertions(+), 5 deletions(-) diff --git a/debian/changelog b/debian/changelog index 667ad66..674d43b 100644 --- a/debian/changelog +++ b/debian/changelog @@ -21,6 +21,8 @@ debian-policy (3.7.3.0) UNRELEASED; urgency=low virtual packages. * Bug fix: "Small spelling errors and erratic sentences in debian-policy", thanks to Michiel de Boer.
