What I did with the last times I was sponsored, and what I'll ask those I sponsor in the future, is to use ~n suffixes in the m.d.n uploads. Thus, if the desired debian upload is n.n-1, I'd recommend your mentors upload to be -1~1 Then, if there are modifications, work thru -1~2 ... When the final version for upload is reached, I'll merge the changelog entries and upload -1. That has the virtue of * Never releasing different versions under the same number. * Allowing *me* to easily compare and archive intermediate versions. * All mentors uploads have version numbers than debian uploads. This, of course, is not my idea. Someone in that thread proposed it and I liked it. In the end, as that thread concluded, all this is highly a matter of sponsor taste. -- Rodrigo Gallardo GPG-Fingerprint: 7C81 E60C 442E 8FBC D975 2F49 0199 8318 ADC9 BC28 signature.asc Description: Digital signature

Dear mentors, what shall I say for advertisement? I think dblatex is not an unimportant package, AFAIK it's the only free, working DocBook-PDF tool in Debian. Moreover, the current Debian version (0.2.6-1) is quite outdated as sadly 0.2.7-1 did not get sponsored. Thus I would really appreciate if someone could sponsor the new version.
