That would probably be useful for the package maintainer, I guess. (Note, I am not the Debian package maintainer, but upstream maintainer that happens to read the Debian BTS for this package.) > How do I do that?

In this particular case, you can check out the git tree of the package, either by downloading or by looking at the cgit web interface: <http://savannah.gnu.org/git/?group=libtool> For example, the log messages can be found at <http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/libtool.git/log/?showmsg=1> and the NEWS file at <http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/libtool.git/tree/NEWS> Cheers, Ralf -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
