Hello Developer's Reference Team I'm just a Debian user, not a developer, so you can safely ignore me. :) But I have a tiny suggestion for your Developer's Reference manual. More specifically to the part 6.7.8.3:
http://www.debian.org/doc/developers-reference/ch-best-pkging-practices.en.html#s-changed-binfiles It suggests uuencoded form for binary files that are shipped with Debian source packages' diff.gz file. The footnote 7 gives perl example. May I suggest using the ASCII armored gpg format instead? In other words: "gpg --armor --store binaryfile". The advantage is that gpg compresses files before encoding. Therefore the ASCII armored file may even be smaller than the original. gpg uses base64 encoding which in itself is more compact than the standard uuencode. Just thoughts. Thanks. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
