Hm, if we included release dates for each version of Policy in lintian, we could suppress the warning about standards-version if the package date is older than the newer standards version, which would accomplish the same thing. And that makes some sense to me -- packages that predate a new version of Policy not referencing the latest standards-version really isn't a problem. What do you think, Frank? It would reduce a lot of noise on lintian.d.o, and we don't generally want maintainers to upload new packages only because of a standards-version bump.... -- Russ Allbery ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
