Yes it is. I propose something like: origin = "debian-packagers" or createdby = "debian-packagers" BTW, it is a variable so there is no point of having origin = X origin = Y (the second override the first). Do I miss something or should this value only hold one team/packager ? Regards, Sylvain Le Gall -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
