In QA work you're always comparing revisions. There's no difference between dealing with versions which skipped the archive because they were QAed elsewhere, or versions which are no longer in the archive because they have been superseded. Furthemore, in this case, there was an upload, it just never made it out of NEW. > > Moreover, a new revision makes it easier for everyone to follow > > what had changed between a version which was reviewed by the > > ftpmasters and the next version that was uploaded. > > That was already discussed at length in another mentors.d.n thread > (other threads actually). There's a significant difference between uploads to mentors.d.n and uploads to debian.org. If you actually uploaded to the archive, even if it never made it out of NEW, you should never elide changelogs. Don Armstrong -- Three little words. (In descending order of importance.)
