This is probably one of those YMMV things -- I'm a lot more likely to start working on something that I can check out from a VCS. When I was doing QA uploads, I always imported the package into my own VCS first. But since I don't have time at present to do much in the way of QA uploads, don't design the system for me. :) -- Russ Allbery (r...@debian.org) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-qa-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
