latest-debian-changelog-entry-without-new-date

The latest Debian changelog entry has either the same or even an older date as the entry before.

This can result in subtle bugs due to the SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH environment variable being the same between the older and newer versions.

The tag is present in Lintian version 2.114.163. That is the most recent version we know about.

We use semantic versions. The patch number is a commit step indicator relative to the 2.114.0 release tag in our Git repository.

You can find the detection logic for this version at commit fac7222. For merge requests, please use the latest version in the Lintian check debian/changelog.
