One important note WRT 'Closes'... Code hits git way earlier than it hits the package. So in most projects where I work, people will put in the commit msg a bugnumber, meaning that it's _related_ to that bug. To say it 'closes' the bug denotes a confidence I rarely have when working with the SCM. Once it's tested, and everyone's happy, the new release gets packaged, and we can say - with more confidence - that it closes some bugs. For example I have done series of 100+ patches related to one "bug". None of them "closed" it, but once the new (major) release was ready, the package changelog did say "Closes: #123". What's good for packaging... is good for packaging! cheers, martin -- martin.langh...@gmail.com mar...@laptop.org -- School Server Architect - ask interesting questions - don't get distracted with shiny stuff - working code first - http://wiki.laptop.org/go/User:Martinlanghoff _______________________________________________ IAEP -- It's An Education Project (not a laptop project!)
