As I think this can be very useful to Debian developers, I have added a news item to the DeveloperNews queue, which will be posted to debian-devel-annnounce sometime in the near future: http://wiki.debian.org/DeveloperNews Feel free to update/change it. >> I've also included a NEWS file detailing the patches >> that are still active. > > I don't think that is an appropriate use of NEWS.Debian, documenting > them in the patch headers should be enough. Agreed; NEWS.Debian is for changes to the package that are relevant to end users. This information is indeed most appropriate in the individual patch headers. > Listing all the distros supported may not be a good idea because this > will change over time and thus add work for those translating Debian > package descriptions. I think that's actually rather informative as it gives a good overview of the breadth of the package and what kind of distributions it searches. It's not critical that the list is exactly up to date, so I don't think it would be a problem if some translations were to get a little behind on the most recent version. So I would leave it in. cheers, Thijs -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-mentors-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org
