Information that is likely to become relevant for different sponsors (like VCS in use, debian/rules style [dh/cdbs/debhelper]) could be shown on the PET page. Different sponsors are likely to have different requirements. The only problem I see is that PET does not really scale well to lots of packages, the page gets quite cluttered. So I don't know if pulling the whole collab-maint area will be of any use. - -- Saludos, Felipe Sateler -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iQIcBAEBCAAGBQJMFtQMAAoJEKO6uuJAjdbPKioP/0P8ufyVc//HTliJ8Xs+K4Do HZ7we1v+a5WnsIaBLDsIaZuDUfwJ5BfnGmL+kmVIv4f/XkAkkhQVHmqDm0EnqSvQ Luob721sr6QlROsRkVNWsKXZ/D9AOjF/KBFcgUjVnvpOvEDjgcCoqTpRQ9CIvQWl WMDNQ0J5gdBWNyP94TQ9pxAOfbnGOgVKKGeZvIn8/WoO2xiSpa+4stupQlrA/DZk EQL/QFfHoBhfIQ+7zogRy/jydedZp+9Cig5ijLXvTrIjbuKzRVSNaNhmUs5D0jbu 1zQaGPAY1x5i3UNKwGKnvEgZEqinuJG+k72l/ctFpXmxhR/OqlCcO/RkslqopTNy u8+KVSzSACLy6cg8QSqYpZ8Dc7rar9JW8wb3J2PJ/HM+pQRBFQyKQpnt+vLiU2We ekVrSB7tudvbOtv4hbCEeBm6fvdDtkQYeQCL1wZx33B3CUiQLCXcByS+WAz6qZBu wB+KUnO+qwmE256zCizFemiwuKdXwMh/vgl08cQ7axbnbr8SjUMlPn45IlhpLaLh Ze/qmaD7xnUTR6h2myQdgWwnwNl+/DavR09T6didMRmSeNmReueSXaUOVQIGFPb+ H3WyDhuZvULrBtorihxJxkppgvz/kMYwG01gj/T6jnIHgCvByEBTp9Gr+xG/ffCX /P7q+B9PhJVtYURKT/Vr =zlkJ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
