OBS auto-increment release numbers for RPMs. This would also be useful for DEB packages

Debian has no direct support for release numbers, but commonly used is to add the release to the version number, separated by "-": <version>-<release> Currently the Debian build process from OBS set the version to the string defined in the DSC file. (A normal build will just use the version from the top most entry from debian/changelog.) It would be an advantage, if OBS would provide auto-increment version/release-numbers also for Debian/Ubuntu/... Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.upload a Debian package to build.opensuse.org. It should include a debian.changelog file Actual Results: package gets build. Version/Release-Number is static, based on the version entry in the DSC file. Expected Results: package gets build, but version number gets expanded by OBS build number
Created attachment 536094 [details] add auto-increment release numbers also when building DEB packages This patch against the build package adds support for auto-incremental release numbers also for DEB packages.
reassign to our debian expert :)
The patch if integrated to https://build.opensuse.org/package/show?package=build&project=home%3Asteffens%3Abranches%3AopenSUSE%3ATools and is working fine on our local OBS instance. To use it, the project must provide a separat "debian.changelog" file with at least one changelog entry and the DSC file must include the tag: DEBTRANSFORM-RELEASE: 1 Therefore, the current build behaviour is not changed. This new feature gets only activated, when the DEBTRANSFORM-RELEASE is added to the DSC file. The build script is only changed slightly, most Debian specific changed have been done to the debtransform script.
