I'd still suggest having the extra information optional in the case of anything but “other”: "Origin: upstream" [ ": " <url-or-commit> ] "Origin: backport" [ ": " <url-or-commit> ] "Origin: vendor" [ ": " <url-or-commit> ] "Origin: other: " <url-or-commit> In other words, a keyword is required, and extra information is optional except for “other”. > Forwarded: <yes|no|not-needed|<url-or-text>> Again, I'll warn against specifying “one of these keywords, or whatever you like” since that begs for collisions in future when trying to introduce new keywords. Instead, I would specify ‘Forwarded’ similar to the above, with: "Forwarded: yes" [ ": " <url-or-text> ] "Forwarded: no" [ ": " <url-or-text> ] "Forwarded: not-needed: " <url-or-text> -- \ “When you go in for a job interview, I think a good thing to | `\ ask is if they ever press charges.” —Jack Handey | _o__) | Ben Finney -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
