Hi When a developer steps down from package maintenance, his name should be removed from the list of Uploaders in debian/control.
This can be done in one step with cme where the former uploader is removed from debian/control and the change is committed. For instance, if I want to remove myself: $ cme run remove-uploader --arg "[email protected]" Lecture des listes de paquets... Fait Construction de l'arbre des dépendances... Fait Lecture des informations d'état... Fait Changes applied to dpkg-control configuration: - source Uploaders: deleted entry 0 [master 94ecfd2] remove [email protected] from Uploaders 1 file changed, 1 deletion(-) Note that this command can be applied to a set of repositories with --foreach option: $ echo raku-json-* | cme run remove-uploader --arg "search=dod" --foreach - Running script in /home/domi/private/debian-dev/raku-stuff/modules/level-1/raku-json-fast ...
