I can take care of it.
I think that using the last upstream commit is best. Bug reports in Debian contain the package version which gives us all information, and if somebody reports a bug upstream it is better not to give the false impression that they have a current version when it is in fact horribly outdated (from upstream's POV). >> - Shipping an upstream changelog would be useful (could probably be >> achieved with a suitable invocation of "git log"). > > ACK. We already do that for other drivers. I'll take care of it. I reworked the get-orig-source target to include it in the upstream tarball, which nicely complements your change to add it to the debian-experimental branch. :-) Sven -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-x-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
