| Mar 11 at 18:26 | comment | added | Stephen Kitt | What’s wrong with setting one of those variables? And there’s nothing stopping you setting your own version, I’m not sure what gave you that impression. | |

| Mar 11 at 16:17 | comment | added | Dimitrios Desyllas | Also I want to enforce my own version nevertheless. | |
| Mar 11 at 15:28 | comment | added | Dimitrios Desyllas | -r asks for DEBEMAIL or EMAIL env variable to be set @StephenKitt | |
| Mar 11 at 12:30 | comment | added | Stephen Kitt | In fact you can’t initialise the version as you’re doing, running dch --newversion without a changelog entry opens an editor… | |
| Mar 10 at 22:15 | comment | added | Stephen Kitt | You shouldn’t need to repeat the version all the time — you only need it when initialising the version. Your finalisation command isn’t quite right, as I mentioned you need -r (or --release) and you only need it once, again without the version. | |
| Mar 10 at 20:35 | comment | added | terdon♦ | Nice! Thanks for taking the time to post the solution you went with. Just one minor note: you really don't want to use CAPS for shell variable names. Since, by convention, global environment variables are capitalized, it is bad practice to also use caps for your own, local variables because this can lead to naming collisions and hard to find bugs. | |
