I didn't say which package I touched. It was part of a NMU, now waiting for a possible ack by the maintainer. I don't feel well at changing the source format in a NMU. A proper lintian warning can enlighten the maintainer and push him toward the change or somehow qualify the NMUer to add that file (if there are no other big changes) >> https://wiki.debian.org/Projects/DebSrc3.0 > > Well, this is a one-sided view of the question from the creator of the 3.0 > format, listing no disadvantages whatsoever. Good. It's a wiki page, let's edit it. There is a Advantages_of_new_formats section, you can add a Disadvantages_of_new_formats or Advantages_of_old_format. Or list them here. I'm really curios. As you can see I'm not an old or active or deeply knowledged debian developer/maintainer, so I can miss something. -- regards, Mattia Rizzolo GPG Key: 4096R/B9444540 http://goo.gl/I8TMB more about me: http://mapreri.org Launchpad User: https://launchpad.net/~mapreri Ubuntu Wiki page: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MattiaRizzolo -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
