You missed several announces on debian-devel-announce (you are supposed to be subscribed and reading) and a status update on -devel recently. Start with http://wiki.debian.org/Projects/DebSrc3.0 to get more information. > A quick read of the dpkg-source manpage about the source format 3 didn't > really help my understanding of what would be required to attain this goal. > Could you elaborate a bit? Perhaps in the next update? Basically fix all those bugs: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/[email protected];tag=3.0-quilt-by-default (And continue to maintain other packages sanely to not expand that list) Cheers, -- Raphaël Hertzog -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
