+1 And I'm not really keen on recognizing more Vcs-* fields in debian/control as far as dpkg-dev is concerned. There are lots of upstream-metadata that we might want to have available and we need to find a proper solution that doesn't involve debian/control. It should be outside of the package and probably shared accross all Linux distributions. It seems to me to be a good extension of the work done/planned on the cross-distribution app-store. http://distributions.freedesktop.org/wiki/AppStream/Implementation Cheers, -- Raphaël Hertzog ◈ Debian Developer Follow my Debian News ▶ http://RaphaelHertzog.com (English) ▶ http://RaphaelHertzog.fr (Français) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
