Hello, On Sat, 05 Jul 2008, Kurt B. Kaiser wrote: I am not yet in the DM keyring. Once I get my package gambc uploaded, I will apply. Oops. I should have checked with gpg --list-options show-keyring! Sorry about that. Also, remind has never been uploaded with the DM-Upload-Allowed field set, Actually, this is what confused me a bit. If you run apt-get source remind zgrep DM-Upload-Allowed remind_03.01.04-1.diff.gz then you'll see that this field *is* set in the Debian package. That's when I switched back to XS-DM-U-A :-) Currently that counts as a diff between your new 03.01.05-1 package and Debian version 03.01.04-1. Here is an important principle of Debian packaging (especially needs checking when your packages are being sponsored). The current version of the Debian package is what is in the archive --- *not* the version that is on your disk. (I've been bitten by this at least once!) So it is best if you do an apt-get source -t unstable remind in order to check the differences between the earlier version and the new one. I would upload it with DM-U-A set as it is in 03.01.04-1. David F. Skoll is the owner of Roaring Penguin, which holds the remind copyright. The exceptions are for code which is not (entirely) his own. In that case, it would best if a change is made to the files upstream. Alternatively, you could just add the copyright assertion for David F. Skoll to debian/copyright where it used to be next to the copyright assertion for Roaring Penguin in the earlier version. The point is that someone looking at the source files and comparing them with debian/copyright might not be aware of the fact you have given above and would need further clarification. The point of debian/copyright is to avoid such needs! The package has been on mentors for two months; my sponsor hasn't been able to find the time to upload it, so I'm now asking here.
