Hello,
I guess ITP bugs are common practice for new packages... but are they
*required* by anything? It seems like fairly high-friction, low-value work -
especially if you're talking about more than a single package. So I'd like to
avoid it, but I'm not sure what the costs would be.
Thanks,
Ros

Hello,
Does anyone have any advice or examples of using cme to manage

up with garbage in the Copyright field.
I can ignore by paths/suffix in copyright-scan-patterns.yml, but then

Hello,
Many shared library packages ship a single shared library. The policy manual
explains and encourages this pattern. But when many libraries are built from
the same source, it can get tedious and error-prone.
Are there things I should look out for if I try to combine many shared library

Hello,
I'd like a metapackage that'd pull in all automatic dbgsyms from one source

Thanks for the hint. dpkg-genchanges(1) says -c requires a version. Is
there a downside to always starting from the first rele
Hi all,
My changelog [1] documents versions that weren't released. I like
including that info (it's been useful for me). But the BTS doesn't pick
up on Closes from those - even though later versions have been uploaded.
Is there a way to make the BTS notice these entries - or do I need to

Hello,
#858563 reports that debian/rules cannot be invoked directly on efl.
The suggested fix is to add "include /usr/share/dpkg/default.mk".
That doesn't work, I'm struggling to understand why:
$ gbp buildpackage --git-builder=sbuild --git-arch=amd64
--git-dist=experimental --git-ignore-new

Oh you're right, I messed up - I thought 848370 was severity serious,
but it's only important.

recent email on the Strech freeze status. In [1], it says to upload the
old version. I'm not clear on what I need to do - should I open
an RFS with the old version from snapshot.d.o?

I'd suggest renaming the source and binary packages to
'enlightenment', e17 was never the right choice of name.

Hello all,
I've been working on packages using git-buildpackage, and have been
wondering if there's a better pattern out there.
Upstream makes periodic releases, which often receive a few maintenance
