I had a package rejected out of NEW because of that (same case: UNRELEASED in changelog, Distribution: unstable in .changes). Being curious, I asked ftpmasters why it this was a problem (besides not being very beautiful), but didn't get an answer. I think that it's mostly harmless: I can't think of any important part of Debian architecture parsing the changelog to extract that information. It probably just doesn't look nice on http://packages.debian.org/. -- | Lucas Nussbaum | [email protected] http://www.lucas-nussbaum.net/ | | jabber: [email protected] GPG: 1024D/023B3F4F | -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
