Haven't looked at the branch yet. But sounds good. I think you simply need to become "upstream" =) and do releases. If you want to maintain packages in debian/ubuntu do packaging on-top but still do Version-Debrevision. Native packages is IMHO a mistake ;-) you don't want to strain mirrors by uploading *new* tarball each time you need to change something in debian diff. Hope this helps. -- Ubuntu-motu mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-motu
