Hi Martin, Sorry for the long silence and thanks for your work, it's not ignored, but I had a severe lack of time and I am investing the Debian energies in other places...

Also I think that "flare-game (=0.19)" will not match 0.19.1 for example (does it match only the beginning, or the full string?). I don't know if this is good or bad, I guess that it depends on the situation? I was suggesting it because hopefully changes 0.19.*, if ever released, will probably be artwork-compatible with 0.19 version of the code, so I don't know if we need to tighten the dependency to be exactly 0.19 or not. It's all right either way I suppose, we can leave it for later versions. >> 6) I think that .xz (and probably with options -9e) should be used for >> orig.tar, especially the data... last time that I checked had very >> significant reduction compared to gzip > > Done, but I'd like to have a debian/rules::get-orig that automatizes > that, or I'll forget each time to do so (It went from 170M with gz > down to 168M with xz -9e, not such a big deal but anyway). Yeah, not great, maybe I am misremembering (or maybe when I did it there was duplicated data). Perhaps png optimizers could help, btw, but let's not do it this time. >> Sorry for the brevity and the direct style, I had a quite hard day at >> work but prefered to reply rather than leaving this hanging. > > that's the kind of working interactions I like. Keep going this way. > Thanks for the feedback. Merci for your work and patience :-) -- Manuel A.
