Hi Debian Packagers, I'm surprised that /usr/share/doc/gnome-pkg-tools/README.Debian.gz contradicts with the good practices described in developers reference.
See /usr/share/doc/gnome-pkg-tools/README.Debian.gz : Copy control to control.in so that it gets refreshed before each build Make the following edits: Build-Depends: ..., gnome-pkg-tools Uploaders: @GNOME_TEAM@ See http://www.debian.org/doc/developers-reference/ch-pkgs.en.html#s-collaborative-maint : "In any case, it is a bad idea to automatically put all team members in the Uploaders field. It clutters the Developer's Package Overview listing (see Developer's packages overview, Section 4.11) with packages one doesn't really care for, and creates a false sense of good maintenance." I think that the former is easy to use, so that's nice, but as the team memberships continuously changes, the value of "Uploaders:" gets outdated very easily. I think that the latter is very true. It feels better to me to only include names of maintainers really contributing to the packages, so that implies a different set of "Uploaders:" per package maintained by the team. It more accurately reflects who's caring about the packages. Other opinions? Regards, Bart Martens -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
