Would it be better with s/uploading/releasing/ ? Or perhaps s/uploading/packaging/ ? I commonly refer to the result of a finalised Debian package as a “release”, regardless of whether it ends up in Debian or not. That seems a useful way of disambiguating between “released from the person doing the packaging” versus “uploaded into Debian”. -- \ “Human reason is snatching everything to itself, leaving | `\ nothing for faith.” —Saint Bernard, 1090–1153 | _o__) | Ben Finney -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-policy-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
