Latest, the warning about quilt patches without any description. Sure it is nice to have a description, but I don't need lintian to tell it. and in other words, the latest package I uploaded: $ lintian kdebase_3.5.9.dfsg.1-6_i386.changes | wc --lines && lintian kdebase_3.5.9.dfsg.1-6_i386.changes | tail -1 142 N: 58 tags overridden (32 errors, 26 warnings) You are most welcome to join in and help fixing issues and especially writing manpages. and then, there is the ~1500 open bug reports. Please stop making the lives for the developers harder. Especially the idea about automatically rejecting based on lintian. /Sune -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
