Well, there some points where I have voiced my opinion to some Ubuntu developers rather than here. I did not know debian-devel was the correct place to send that. 1) No changes rebuild-only upload should still be versionned so that we do not end up with two .deb with the same version but different contents. Rebuilding a package with a newer toolchain can cause different dependencies and bugs. 2) I find a bit odd to be called the maintainer of a package I did not test and that I cannot change anyway. 3) The name of the Ubuntu developers which have tested the package before uploading it is not mentionned in the case of a no-changes upload. I am refraining from assuming there were none. Cheers, -- Bill. <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Imagine a large red swirl here. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
