Not really, as dpkg-gencontrol will strip unknown fields. You'll need "XB-Tag:". But I'll be adding support into dpkg-dev for the Tag field once we branch it for etch+1 (which may go to experimental for a while). > The script is smart enough to ask you to review only the differences > between the data on Alioth and the data in your package.

Now you have xfstt in incoming with such field. =) All my other packages will aquire the field as soon as a new upload happens (they have that locally already). regards, guillem -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
