There's no need to update the policy version from 3.6.1 to 3.6.1.1. Including the 4th component is completely pointless. See policy 5.6.10. -- You win again, gravity!

I took a look at your package, a few issues: 0) For some reason you decided to build this as a debian-specific package. You should change this to use the regular method -- with a .dsc, .diff.gz, and a .orig.tar.gz. 1) You don't close the ITP bug in your changelog. 2) Policy is up to version 3.6.1.1 now, please update your package as necessary. 3) Why do you have separate copies of the manpages and init scripts in the debian/ directory? 4) Your debian/watch file is broken. 5) I don't think that the ssh key for netdump should be in /etc/default/.

Re: RFS: netdump -- Dump kernel crash information over the network
[Third attempt for seeking a sponsor] Hi! I've uploaded netdump package to mentors.debian.net and am seeking for a sponsor for this package. The netdump client sets up the kernel to send crash dumps and/or console messages as syslog packets to a remote system. The netdump server listens to the network for crashed kernels to contact it and then writes the oops log and a memory dump to /var/crash before asking the crashed machine to reboot. Netdump relies on CONFIG_NETCONSOLE=m set in the kernel configuration, which is not present in 2.4 series Debian kernels, but is present in 2.6 series Debian kernels. So the package will not work with 2.4 Debian kernels. More information about netdump can be got from: http://www.redhat.com/support/wpapers/redhat/netdump/ I have got permission from netdump's current maintainer Jeff Moyer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> to include it in the Debian, and who is happy to see its inclusion.
