Either ship a useful changelog in the upstream tarball or don't ship a less than useful changelog in the Debian binary package. lintian is only informational (especially at pedantic level), ignore its warnings if they are not useful. For upstream projects I personally use git2cl or similar at `make distcheck` time to generate a useful ChangeLog for inclusion in the upstream tarball. -- bye, pabs http://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-mentors-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
