Hi Carlos, I think that you are not very happy with the changes in the debian/ folder :-) not? We can do two things (talking about dockapps): a) maintain the debian folder with the dockapps b) not maintain it. But If we choose the option "b", in my opinion, the debian folder should be deleted. But, I need to maintain the file debian/changelog of my dockapps (wmmixer and wmmoonclock now), and probably other debian developers/maintainers/people needs to do it too in the future, therefore, if we choose the option "a", then update this file with the patch sent. If we choose the option "b", IMO, delete the debian folder of the dockapps. Why? because the debian folder in the git and the debian folder in the debian distro packages will be different. About the upstream changelog, if you don't want to maintain it, perfect, but only think that other people thinks that is better to update it. Is possible to add other person (not me) to make the updates in the git? Probably other person can help you. Best Regards. kix. -- To unsubscribe, send mail to [email protected].
