Bug#968021: RFS: dfu-programmer/0.7.2-1 -- device firmware update (DFU) based USB programmer for Atmel chips
Package: sponsorship-requests Followup-For: Bug #968021 Control: tags -1 moreinfo Hi Rodolphe, I've took a look at your package, here are some remarks that needs to be addressed before uploading: - There is a bug on the BTS asking for the new upstream version. Please close it using d/changelog. - Why you bump compat level only to 10? - the changelog should have more details on this. The "why" is not visible when looking at the changes to the packaging. - Not all changes are recorded in d/changelog, e.g the change of the Homepage field. - The change to the VCS fields also needs to close the Bug filed on this issue. - Did you use the policy upgrade checklist when updating S-V? I miss at least one change that should have been done… - d/copyright needs updating, at least the debian/* part. - d/patches are missing some fields in the dep3 format. Have the patches been sent upstream? Wishlist: (no blockers for upload) - I don't like private repos on salsa very much. Please consider moving it to the Debian namespace for collaborative maintaince. As always, please check those items, update your pacakges and then remove the moreinfo tag to signal that you're ready for the next round of reviewing! Many thanks for your contributions to Debian! -- tobi

Michelle Konzack wrote: an is used before a vowel like an USB connector an Inode an Error but a Straw(berry) :-) a Maintainer a Debian package Well, that's certainly what they taught me at school, too. :) But it's just not what I hear or read living in the US for ~30 years... So I looked a little further: Basically, one says an before a _phonemic_ vowel -- in other words, only a vowel that starts with a vowel-like sound. Specifically, this page http://owl.english.purdue.edu/handouts/esl/esliart.html mentions that u often does not require an an, namely when it sounds like y in you. A found a few other references to this on the web, and it appears entirely reasonable and agrees with my personal experience as a native English speaker, so I believe it. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.
