Bug Description

The --package-merge option should detect the last time the package was merged into Ubuntu, and pass an appropriate -v option to dpkg-buildpackage. Instead, when run against lp:ubuntu/e2fsprogs for package version 1.42~WIP-2011-10-09-1ubuntu1, it spits out these errors:

parsechangelog/debian: warning: 'since' option specifies non-existing version
parsechangelog/debian: warning: use newest entry that is earlier than the one specified
parsechangelog/debian: warning: none found, starting from the oldest entry

and the resulting .changes includes all the changelog entries back to THE DAWN OF TIME.

Oops:

UBUNTU_RELEASES = ('warty', 'hoary', 'breezy', 'dapper', 'edgy',
        'feisty', 'gutsy', 'hardy', 'intrepid', 'jaunty', 'karmic',
        'lucid', 'maverick', 'natty', "oneiric")

Would be really nice to get rid of that.

Thanks,

James

Making use of distro-info would at least stop having to modify the code here, if we can't avoid
needing the information.

Thanks,

Same thing happened to me with merging boost1.46 and I've seen it with a few other packages. Seems like --package-merge can't really calculate the starting version correctly.

I've tested and indeed adding precise to the list of Ubuntu releases resolves the problem for me. I've proposed a merge to use distro-info to resolve this in trunk. I'll be uploading shortly a package to oneiric-proposed just adding it to the list manually. I think it's best to not add a new dependency for a SRU.

The package uploaded to oneiric-proposed is based on bzr-builddeb 2.7.9, where oneiric ships with 2.7.8. Was this an oversight?

Ug. It sure was. Thanks for catching that Steve. Please reject it.

confirmed that the package in oneiric-proposed successfully spits out the -v option that we need.
