that. The package doesn't appear to be low-NMU so you should wait a few days. Then, if no response upload to delayed and post a deb-diff of the NMU to the bug. regards, Colin -- Colin Tuckley | +44(0)1223 293413 | PGP/GnuPG Key Id Debian Developer | +44(0)7799 143369

Re: RFS: agedu (updated package)

Quoting Alexander Prinsier aphe...@mailhaven.com: Is there nobody who wants to sponsor this upload? It's a really basic package, no oddities :) I took a look at this. First, the changelog doesn't say it's a new upstream version, which it appears to be. Second, are the debian/changelog

Re: RFS: basic256 (updated package)

that you've altered the changelog entry for 0.9.2-2, (the bit about the standards version change) why? Is the only change really the addition of a watch file? if so then it doesn't really warrant an upload. regards, Colin -- Colin Tuckley | +44(0)1903 236872 | PGP/GnuPG Key Id Debian

this package for me. It's very nearly linda and lintian clean (linda complains about me using Standards-Version 3.7.3, but if I use 3.7.2 then lintian complains that I'm not using 3.7.3...), and it builds cleanly under pbuilder. That is linda bug #454130 regards, Colin - -- Colin Tuckley

Re: Change in my sponsorship requirements

the uploads use ~r1 etc and the final upload to Debian by the sponsor deleted the extra part of the revision. It's having all the changelog entries for the packaging *attempts* in the final debian package that I'm objecting to. Colin -- Colin Tuckley | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | PGP/GnuPG Key Id
