one way, or another, we tried to help debian packaging by providing the stuff they need. they soundly rejected our help as unhelpful to them. after much bemoaning on their part of it being a pain, we agree dot keep debian pkg info in cvs, but not ship in dist tarballs. that is how all of cvs works. or should. eet being different would be inconsistent. that alone means it should stay as-is. all we will do is bring up the whole issue again and go through it all again. :( > On Tuesday, 10 June 2008, at 23:46:04 (+0200), > Albin Tonnerre wrote: > > > If people want to do this, they *are* able to: all they need is > > checking out the CVS, which contains the debian dirs. > > Sorry, I meant tarballs, not CVS.
