[Bug 1001068] Re: debchange: "quantal" is the default distribution in precise

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

This bug was fixed in the package devscripts - 2.11.9ubuntu1

---------------
devscripts (2.11.9ubuntu1) quantal; urgency=low

  * scripts/debchange.pl: do *not* use distro-info for deciding the default
    target for an Ubuntu upload; the distro-info package will be updated in
    SRU to include the names of newer releases, but we want dch to always
    default to targeting the release that it's run from, *not* the current
    devel release, since its primary use on stable releases will be for
    preparing ppa uploads.  This means we will have to continue updating
    devscripts manually at the opening of each release.  LP: #1001068.

Title:
  debchange: "quantal" is the default distribution in precise

Status in “devscripts” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “devscripts” source package in Precise:
  Triaged
Status in “devscripts” source package in Quantal:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  devscripts 2.11.6ubuntu1.1 alters debchange's default for the
  distribution field to "quantal". I would imagine that that majority of
  precise users who invoke debchange will be preparing uploads to
  precise, i.e. for their PPAs.

  From my skim of the devscripts changelog, it looks like this update
  usually waits until after release. Please consider reverting
  debchange's default distribution in precise to "precise".
