Hi all,

After some time finally I will write a new post here.

Today a will write how to maintenance debian/changelog file in a source package.

= Configuring environment variables =

First you need export some environment variables.

EDITOR="vim"

DEBFULLNAME=”Ragner Magalhaes”

DEBEMAIL=”foo@ragner.org”

export DEBEMAIL DEBFULLNAME EDITOR

You can put these lines above in your .bashrc file

= To create a new debian/changelog file =

In the project’s directory just run

$ dch --create

To create a new debian/changelog file.

= To increment the Debian release number =

To increment the package release number run the follow command

$ dch -i -U -D "unstable"

So it will open the debian/changelog file to you  write some comments.
