[PATCH] a small patchlet to maintain debian/changelog

[Balazs Scheidler]

hi all,

First of all: ccontrol is cool, I've just upgraded my sarge to ubuntu
and it contains three different compilers, regularly changing my CC
environment variable sucks :)

Next: I've grabbed ccontrol 0.8.4, built a Debian package and it nicely
generated ccontrol_0.8.2-1_i386.deb. The version difference is caused by
the static version string in debian/changelog, the patch below adds some
lines to the configure script to check whether debian/changelog is
up-to-date and adds a template changelog entry if it is not.

I used the following template (to be stored in
debian/changelog.template.in):

ccontrol (@VERSION at -1) unstable; urgency=low

  * New upstream release.
