This is way too vague, because I have yet to see one (1) concrete tool to be mentioned that actually breaks when not doing this. If you look at common tools like aptitude and packages.debian.org, they work just fine... > look at policy, as long as it is not "fixed" there, it > should be kept as it is (with two leading spaces). Maybe you should be the one looking at policy, because it's not in there :) The devref spends 5 paragraphs on specifying the format of this field, that itself is contained in the description field. Way overengineered, and there's no concrete problems with the simple way. Let's stop with this "extra space" thing that serves no advantage. It you think there is, please provide us with a concrete real-world description + tool that breaks on it. Thijs signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

I'd say you try now to contact Martin Kos about this and to confirm the amount of path authors there are.

I think this has been covered before and I can't see why it's continued. One space before Homepage is fine - two spaces just prevents linewrapping and uses a monospace font. Why is this double space seen as mandatory? - it is not. Single spacing is fine in most cases. -- Neil Williams = http://www.data-freedom.org/ http://www.nosoftwarepatents.com/ http://www.linux.codehelp.co.uk/ pgpbo5jYu6NKF.pgp Description: PGP signature

RFS: sqwebmail-de: german templates for sqwebmail (fixes RC-bug)
Hi! I'm searching a sponsor for the my completely redone sqwebmail-de package. The current version in sid is very outdated: You cannot even send mail (with current sqwebmail in sid). I've redone the packaging completely, because the current build procedure is so simple that I didn't want to bother with the old packaging (which even came with autoconf from upstream ...): - Copy the english templates from sqwebmail to a build place - Apply the patch - Install the result to the right location. - Do the symlinks for de-at, de-ch, de-li, de-lu - Build the package. I've asked Stefan Hornburg (racke) who maintains sqwebmail and he agreed to sponsor, but he seems to be very busy. So I'm asking here in hope for a small chance to get the package into etch. (I've of course told him that I would post here). The takeover from previous maintainer has been acknowledged with "oh, that's great". The packaging is available from: http://wserver.wm1.at/~willi/debian/various/pool/main/s/sqwebmail-de/ Willi -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
