Err, why should katie do that based on the version number? That's very unlikely, katie can simply see whether the .changes file contains a source too, even more, katie doesn't care about buildd's, (iirc) quinn-diff does, and because of the nature of the upload (no new source attached), everything goes magically alright because there _is_ nothing to rebuild? Version numbering w.r.t. (Binary/Source) NMU's is a convention thing, mandated by policy. The archive scripts do not care other than for version ordering. --Jeroen -- Jeroen van Wolffelaar [EMAIL PROTECTED] (also for Jabber & MSN; ICQ: 33944357) http://Jeroen.A-Eskwadraat.nl
