Hi,

Dear Dan and Eric,
please stop these type of mails.
Agree.
As I see the issue, Eric described what
we (and other normal projects) are already doing and I don't have obstructions
so far.
Well, correct, I only described the format of the freemind sources as it
was in the past, and it was complicated enough like this due to the
different changes (e.g. underscores became dots), my point was only to
make sure that it wouldn't change in the future (or at least not without
proper discussion).
But Dans question remains: what the Debian service consists of is not clear to
me, too.
In my own words: "Debian offers the possibility to track the latest
available version for a specific package (the so-called watch file)."
i.e. the watch file describes where and how to find the latest source
version. This allows for automatic "upstream" version checking, the
attached email contains a link to a possible utilization of the watch file.
In the same email you'll see that the presence of a working 'watch' file
is now recommended for all Java packages in Debian. Hence my request.
Clear?
Can we have an agreement?
Thanks, Eric
PS: the uscan manpage explains all the gory details about the watch
file: http://dehs.alioth.debian.org/uscan.html

Hello Java team,
I have configured a new service for us that helps us packaging our
Java software. The service I mean can be found at
http://pkg-java.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/qareport.cgi
Its automatically updated every 15 minutes. Its a service used by the
pkg-perl team too and originally developed by MartÃn Ferrari.
To make this service really useful you should follow some small rules
to make the script show the real status for our packages:
- if a package is not ready for upload yet please use "UNRELEASED"
as target distribution instead of unstable/experimental
- don't add dummy changelog entries without changes to the package
- all packages should have *working* watch files that mangle the
debian version to let script know if a new upstream version was
released. I know thats not possible for all packages
Cheers,
Michael
