The less features the better (to implement). :) > On 27/07/07, Paul Wise <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > On 7/27/07, Christoph Haas <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Instead of only using dates (not to mention the lack of year) it > should also display the package version.

I could offer to save a "debdiff" perhaps. But if I sponsor packages I get the previous version (e.g. the one in the Debian archives), "dget -x" the new version and diff them (kdiff3) to find out what has changed. > > Automated archiving of uploaded packages (last I checked, there were > > still some packages on mentors/sponsor-pkglist that have been > > uploaded) - 2 examples are paris-traceroute and monotone > > This depends on the definition of 'archiving'.

That's done already. If m.d.n detects that a package is uploaded (by monitoring the debian-devel-changes mailing list) then the maintainer/sponsoree gets an email and the package is removed. The only exception is when package versions differ - then the maintainer is informed but the package is kept. > > I can view the diff.gz files in my browser > > > > Can mark comments as 'advocating an upload' > > By the way, is there any way to make sure that the person marking a > comment as 'advocating an upload' is really a DD (or in REVU's case > UD, if that's how they call them :-/ ) Two things that make a DD a DD are the PGP/GPG keyring membership and the @debian.org address. So if DDs hat to sign up at m.d.n they could get a confirmation email sent to their @debian.org address. > > Unpacked source trees > > I think it is easier to download the package files and check > everything in the local computer than browsing every single file with > a web browser.
