Hi Jean, So, are you saying that we have to keep the history of the list of uploaders in config.xml in order to put their changelog to it? Can we just assume that the authors on the changelog are the uploaders? (in fact, it is, right?) What is the benefit of having another list for only uploaders? Is there any particular reason that the uploader list is required on the debian?
I am still not really convinced with having another list for the uploaders but if it is somehow required for opkgc, I don't mind using another list(uploaders) on config.xml.
