waiting time in incoming queue

1998-04-13 Thread Christian Hammers
Hi ! How long do programs (normally) have to wait in the Incoming queue ? Are Joey & co. just too busy or are there other problems why the kde* programs are starving there =;-) It's not that the waiting bothers me - it's just... the Incoming queue of master.debian.org is AFAIK not mirrored and

Hi, I do not know why you think this is a bug; this is supposed to be a feature! Since the upstream source is not supposed to be changed for succesive debian revisions, there is no point uploading it. Presumably you uploaded the sources for the -1 version of the package, so there is n

I've been trying for the last two days tried to build a new version of my package, tcpquota, but I'm encountering one problem after the other... When I do a 'sudo build', it packs the source in a tarball, creates the diffs etc, but when it is doing the 'dpkg-genchanges' it says: - s n i p p -

I know I read this at one point, and I _think_ I remember most of it correctly, but which doc. describes how dpkg compares version numbers? I think that in the case of tkdesk I may have to use epochs (the upstream authors have 1.0-beta-1 through 1.0-beta-5 coming before 1.0-pre-1, which comes befor
