Done.
For the manual page change, once the manual page is accepted upstream,
I would suggest a sed command in debian/rules install or binary rather
than a patch. The file in question will be uncompressed on most
systems and compressed on Debian, so upstream's manual page should
just refer to uncompressed intro.txt and Debian should modify it at
install time. See the nsis package for an (ugly) example of how to do
this. This way you won't have to refresh the patch every time upstream
modifies the manual page around the change.
That makes sense; I'll set it up once the manual goes into upstream.
In future, it is a good idea to document the status of patches
upstream in the patch header/description.
Done for all existing and new patches.
PS: I prefer not to be CCed on RFS mails. If have time I'll upload, if
not someone else will.
Ok, sorry for the noise. I wasn't sure how closely you were watching
-mentors.
I've uploaded 0.21-4 to m.d.n which closes bugs 510189, 510231, 510259,
510152 and 510203. If you've time to take a look and upload that would
be great, I've also sent all the bugs and patches upstream.
I wondered, with this many bugs opened so soon, if whohas wouldn't be
better suited in experimental, but then again most of them have been
because of incorrect urls in the various package searchers, so perhaps
not. Do you have any thoughts?
TIA.
Jonathan

I watch it quite closely, reading all the mails at least daily. I've uploaded 0.21-4 to m.d.n which closes bugs 510189, 510231, 510259, 510152 and 510203.
