Description
dptdch-note is a helper program for adding notes to debian/changelog file. These can be useful for
keeping track of TODO items or signaling PET to ignore new upstream releases.
Name
dpt-dch-note - add notes/TODO items to debian/changelog
Options
--ignore--ignore-version
Add an "IGNORE-VERSION: version" comment. This is useful for instructing PET that this upstream
release contains no changes that warrant an upload, for example changes in META files or fixes
concerning only non-UNIX platforms.
--waitspackageversion--waits-forpackageversion
Add a "WAITS-FOR: packageversion" comment. This is useful to indicate that uploading of this package
needs another package to be uploaded first. This also instructs PET not to show this package as ready
for uploading until the required package version is available in the archive.
--unreleased
Change distribution in debian/changelog to "unreleased". This is done to indicate that the package
needs more work and is not ready for reviewing/uploading.
