I admit I share the old fashioned view and we asket Jelmer to not run Janitor on Debian Med and R-pkg-team. The rationale is that we are running routine-update on all our packages. Routine-update is running all scripts that are called by Janitor and thus you have the same effect. However, these changes are made under actual observation when the developer is intending to work on the package possibly with the goal for an upload. I personally prefer routine-update over Janitor and I'd recommend to regularly use it since besides sensible upgrade features it also normalises the format of the team maintained packages. I'm running routine-update -f on packages where no new upstream is available but if I have other reasons to work on the package. Kind regards Andreas. -- http://fam-tille.de
