Package: debmirror
Version: 1:2.4
Severity: minor
Tags: patch
Hi,
I found a few errors within debmirror's NEWS.Debian file, the most
notable within a change listed for version 1:2.0:
* Option --root=directory no longer requires "/" or ":" prefix
It is not possible to leave the default at "debian" and all
transfer methods should just work. For backwards compatibility
debmirror will remove a leading "/" or ":" if one is passed.
"It is not possible" should read "It is now possible" instead.
Three spelling errors were found in changes relating to older versions.
A patch is attached for all to be corrected.
Geoff
