which discussion was that? I searched the last four months of the debian-mentors list archive for your name as well as for the string "tss" and couldn't find the advice to use an epoch instead renaming the source package. Just like pabs (and for the same reason) I would argue for a one-time migration rather than carrying a wrong name as well as the epoch number forever. > I recently posted a packaging question to the debian-mentors list and someone > kindly explained that use of an epoch number needed to be discussed on > debian-devel first. That is correct. Thanks for reaching out to us! :) cheers, josch
