• New tool to help maintain Standards-Version in control file

    From Dominique Dumont@21:1/5 to All on Sun Dec 8 15:50:01 2024
    Hi

    I've added to cme a small script to help maintain Standards-Version field in debian/control file.

    Fro details, see https://ddumont.wordpress.com/2024/12/07/new-cme-command-to-update-debian-standards-version-field/

    The TL;DR version is

    $ cme run update-standards-version -doc
    This script updates control's Standards-Version and commit the change.
    Before using this script, you must make sure that your package complies with new Debian policy.
    For details, see https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/upgrading-checklist.html
    example:
    cme run update-standards-version

    will commit with message: 'control: declare compliance with Debian policy {{source Standards-Version}}
    '

    All the best

    Dominique
