Well, the maintainer will be making the initial TDeb upload (effectively +t0) so the restriction does normally only affect non-maintainer uploads. http://dep.debian.net/deps/dep4/#index9h2 I suppose the maintainer might be the one doing the +t1 upload in order to avoid a source rebuild during a release freeze - but I can't say whether that's going to be particularly common. (If the maintainer did a string freeze before the upload that went into testing prior to the release freeze, it shouldn't be necessary.) There might be cases where a debconf question needs to be changed without needing any changes in the source package itself and if that happens during a release freeze then the maintainer could be the one to do it - can't see that happening that often. Might be better to document that later in the Specification rather than in the abstract. -- Neil Williams ============= http://www.data-freedom.org/ http://www.linux.codehelp.co.uk/ http://e-mail.is-not-s.ms/
