You could also try the debian-i18n list, some other ideas are in the debian-mentors FAQ. If all else fails I guess I can sponsor them. > * The Apache License recommends placing licensing information at the bottom > of the file. Is there a good reason to move it to the top?

I so rarely see it at the bottom that I would miss such information if it were at the bottom. > * local.conf is in the tarball because automake generates it when I run > "make distcheck".

(Same regarding > config.guess/config.sub) I am unable to build libwaitzar so I can't try out make distcheck, but I don't see why it would be nessecary and I can't see where it would come from, so not sure how to answer this. config.guess/sub is different. Adding them to the diff.gz is wrong because you always want the latest available version at build time, not the latest version from when the diff.gz is formed, otherwise new architectures can't simply upgrade autotools-dev and build packages. -- bye, pabs http://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-mentors-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
