Package: dpkg-dev Version: 1.20.9
Dear dpkg-dev developers, One feature that is deeply missed, and which disappered when we moved to source only uploads, is the listing of binary package descriptions in the email to debian-devel-chan...@lists.debian.org. The emails used to have a section like this, listing the short description of each binary package: Description: gdm - GNOME Display Manager I used this to see if a package I never heard about could be interesting to check out or not. After we moved to source only uploads to unstable, there is no Description section any more in the emails, and it is a lot harder to guess what the odd packages are useful for. The email content is simply the uploaded .changes file. Would it be possible to adjust the .changes generator to include the description of all binary packages listed in d/control, even if none of them are included in the upload? -- Happy hacking Petter Reinholdtsen
