Ack. And I'd like to express once more that's it's important to have meaningful changelog entries for someone who has not done the work and who has no corresponding debdiff. We have (many) people reviewing debian-devel-changes and finding .changes where the changelog entries do not mean anything is tiresome. That's why I put a reminder in the developer news that I posted to d-d-a: http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2007/12/msg00007.html Cheers, -- Raphaël Hertzog Le best-seller français mis à jour pour Debian Etch : http://www.ouaza.com/livre/admin-debian/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
