debchange: Add a changelog entry to close the bug with specified ID.
$ debchange --closes ${bug_id}
try on your machine
The command "debchange --closes ${bug_id}" is used in Debian packaging to update the changelog of a package and mark a specific bug as closed.
Here is a breakdown of the command:
- "debchange" is a tool used to create or modify Debian package changelog entries.
- "--closes" is an option of the "debchange" command that is used to indicate that a bug is being closed.
- "${bug_id}" is a placeholder for the ID or number of the bug being closed.
When you execute this command, it will open a text editor displaying the changelog entry for the package. You can then modify the entry to include information about the bug that is being closed, such as its number or any relevant comments. Once you save and exit the editor, the changelog entry will be updated with the bug closure information.
