Make deb error

[AlexUhde]

Hello,

I tired compling the configshell-fb for Debian 7.2 and got the Error that the versionnumber does not start with a number.

original Error in german:
parsechangelog/debian: Warnung: debian/changelog(l1): Version »v1.1.fb9.6.gdccc4ed« ist ungültig: Versionsnummer beginnt nicht mit einer Ziffer
LINE: configshell (v1.1.fb9.6.gdccc4ed) unstable; urgency=low
dpkg-buildpackage: Quellpaket configshell
dpkg-buildpackage: Quellversion v1.1.fb9.6.gdccc4ed
dpkg-buildpackage: Fehler: Versionsnummer beginnt nicht mit einer Ziffer

What tools did you use to build and why did that tool think taking the full tag as version number is the way to go?

The changelog (where the version number is taken from) isn't part of this repository, but created by some tool you used. So my guess would be this is a problem with that tool.

Using v<version number> as the tag is somewhat a standard way of tagging versions.

Hello Jonny,

I use Debian:
Linux avaNAS 3.2.0-4-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.2.46-1+deb7u1 x86_64

I followed the instructions on: http://www.linux-iscsi.org/wiki/Downloads#Installation
in short:
Install prerequisites: python-epydoc python-urwid python-simpleparse python-ipaddr python-netifaces python-configobj libreadline6 python-dev make dpkg-dev git-core debhelper
Clone Git and "make deb"

Thanks,
Alex

Oh, I completely forgot about that Makefile.

In that case it is the repo's fault and should be fixed. Thanks for providing the details.

I can reproduce it and it should be easy to fix. Hopefully there won't be many more problems.

Should be fixed with #8. Please test.
