bzr-builddeb (2.8.1) precise; urgency=low The 'bzr merge-package' command is now deprecated, and its functionality is available as part of 'bzr merge'. -- Jelmer Vernooij Mon, 02 Jan 2012 17:32:03 +0100 bzr-builddeb (2.8.0) precise; urgency=low bzr-builddeb now warns when using the get-orig-source target in debian/rules to fetch the currently package upstream tarball. get-packaged-orig-source should be provided instead. Debian policy (section 4.9) dictates that get-orig-source should fetch the latest upstream tarball rather than the upstream tarball for the upstream version that is currently packaged. -- Jelmer Vernooij Wed, 30 Nov 2011 17:13:49 +0100 bzr-builddeb (2.5.1) unstable; urgency=low The 'deb:' directory service has been renamed to 'apt:' to avoid confusion. -- Jelmer Vernooij Sun, 06 Feb 2011 14:24:37 +0100 bzr-builddeb (2.1) experimental; urgency=low * The build command now defaults to "debuild" instead of "dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -uc -us". The most obvious change here will be that it tries to sign packages by default. * The tags that were used for tracking versions have changed format. The old format caused bugs, so this had to be done, but it does cause issues for existing branches. To migrate you can rename the tags: - debian- or ubuntu- simply become - upstream-debian- or upstream-ubuntu- become upstream- * export-upstream in normal mode has been deprected in favour of using merge-upstream. Where you once used export-upstream to export the tarball to build against then now use merge-upstream against the branch to merge the code. pristine-tar integration will then ensure the tarball is available at build time, without the problems that export-upstream had. If the merge-upstream does not give any conflicts then you can commit and test-build. -- James Westby Mon, 16 Feb 2009 16:11:44 +0000 bzr-builddeb (2.0) unstable; urgency=low There have been several compatibility breaks in this release. * builddeb now looks for .orig.tar.gz files in the parent directory of the branch when needed, but still falls back to ../tarballs for compatibility. It will also place the result of the build in the parent dir if it can find it. This is to make it resemble dpkg-buildpackage more. * import-dsc --snapshot has been removed, as snapshot.debian.net is nearly useless at the moment. It can be ressurected later if needed. * The command line options of merge-upstream and import-dsc have been overhauled. It shouldn't be possible to break anything by using the same arguments as before. -- James Westby Wed, 27 Aug 2008 21:27:37 +0100 bzr-builddeb (0.91) unstable; urgency=low --working-tree is no longer needed, as the default is now to use the working tree. If you want the old behaviour then please use -r-1. This also means that --ignore-changes and the like have no effect. None of the options are removed or deprecated yet. That will be done in a later release. -- James Westby Thu, 13 Sep 2007 22:39:04 +0100
