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

[Brian Murray]

Hello Paul, or anyone else affected,

Accepted devscripts into precise-proposed. The package will build now
and be available at
http://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/devscripts/2.11.6ubuntu1.3 in a few
hours and then in the -proposed repository.  Please help us by testing
this new package.  See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed
for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Your feedback will
aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you please change the bug tag from
verification-needed to verification-done.  If it does not, change the
tag to verification-failed.  In either case details of your testing will
help us make a better decision.  Further information regarding the
verification process can be found at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in
advance!

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

Status in “devscripts” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “devscripts” source package in Precise:
  Fix Committed
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".

  [TESTCASE]
  mkdir debian
  dch --create -v 0.1 --package foobar 'Test'
  dch -r ''
  # dpkg-parsechangelog should show 'precise' as distribution
