Of course it isn't; it's just the short blurb that can be seen on the upstream website about it. Having a full fledged description at ITP stage means that one already started at working on the package - and given that an ITP is meant to be there so that we don't duplicate work and /personally/ the package description is something that I rather *not* think as first of when starting to work on a package sending out the ITP with something final package description is backwards, counter-productive and anachronistic to me. :) > Anyway, I think it does not make much sense to base most of the > description on a reference to gitosis but, rather, it should specify > what *gitolite* actually is. 'sactly, and I'm absolutely with you on that, agree to it and am thankful for you to mention it (just in case it wouldn't have crossed my mind) but see above for why it was done like that. :) So long, and thanks. :) Rhonda -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-wnpp-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
