Several of the utilities in devscripts recognise when they are being run
from a package's source tree, and automatically find the built files
based on that. It would be convenient for dput to be able to do the
same, so if there's a debian/changelog use it to get the package name
and version and look for ../package_version_*.changes

Hi Joey,

thanks a lot for your suggestion.

Well, basically I've refrained from similar efforts to make uploading
easier with the rationale that uploading to Debian was grave enough to
make sure that everything is correct. For example all my uploads to
ftp-master sit in my private repo or the pbuilder result directory.
With the rise of non-official repositories, that rationale might no
longer apply, though.

If implemented, do you think _source.changes should be excluded or
included? (Debian doesn't allow them, AFAIU they're a must for Ubuntu?)

Kind regards

T.

I don't know; I have used a dput wrapper for some time that does this
guessing for most of my uploads for debian, and I've not had any
problems.

Well at the worst an incorrect _source.changes would be rejected by
ftp-master, I think.

retitle 348908 dput: guess location of package ‘*.changes’ file
thanks

The file needs to be located, more generally, wherever the package build
process puts it.

It is common for VCS-helper build tools such as ‘bzr-buildpackage’ or
‘svn-buildpackage’ etc. to have a configured source package destination
which is often not the parent directory.

For example, ‘svn-buildpackage(1)’ specifies the “buildArea” property; the
‘bzr-buildpackage’ tool uses the “build-dir” option.

Other VCS-helper build tools may have corresponding configuration settings
to specify the package build destiantion, and hence the location of the
‘*.changes’ file.

Greetings.

I'm writing to you because I have a humanitarian request that I believe
could be incredibly impactful. I'm reaching out about the recent
devastating storm that tragically claimed many lives and affected numerous
individuals in Libya, including one of my clients. I would like to discuss
a proposal with you that could enable us to extend a helping hand to these
victims.

Looking forward to discussing this further with you.

Warm regards,
Mrs. Nathalie Herolds
