Dear all
DEP5 is quite stable now (no updates for a while).
Implementation format exists and is being used by quite a few packages now.
Shall DEP-5 be changed to "Candidate" status? Do we have rough consensus?
I believe changing status to Candidate will drive further adoption &
testing as well

No, it is not. It is stagnant, not stable.
I don't believe there's any consensus about it; there have been list
discussions in the past with major objections to its current con

Dear FTP team,
In the following message sent on debian-devel
(<20091209003633.gb29...@kunpuu.plessy.org>), it has been suggested that we
repack upstream original source archives when they contain generated files in
order to ease your work. Can you confirm or infirm whether you have a
preference?

Dear all,

I intend to orphan the libpkg-guide package. Once I packaged it, taking the
great doc from Junichi, I had hoped to invest time in expoling the shlibs world
and keep this package up-to-date. Interests followed a different path, so it's
just honest to declare my failur

To sum up the naming discussion, there are two possible package names:
* distro-release-info
* release-info
The two distro-specific script will be named debian-release-info and
ubuntu-release-info. I tend to name the package distro-release-info and
the symlinked script release-info.
