It doesn't matter much.

The debdiff (*not* just the .diff.gz - they aren't the same thing) is normally sufficient, although some reviewers may find it convenient to have a complete source package to download and perhaps sign/upload. If the fix involves a new upstream version then you should submit the full source package. It isn't generally necessary to submit binaries unless a reviewer specifically asks for them, and they wouldn't be used anyway, although of course you should have test-built your fix and confirmed that it actually works. -- Colin Watson (he/him) [[email protected]] -- Ubuntu-motu mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-motu
