Hello everyone,

My name is Emmanouil Kiagias and I am working with Andreas Tille on
Redesign metapackage creation for Debian Blends[0] GSoC Project. This
project will replace the current blends-dev package (mainly the
blend-gen-control script).

One new feature of blends-dev provides an automatic changelog entry which
dumps the packages differences between the latest and the previous release
of a Blend into the debian/changelog file (track added/removed packages
between releases). To achieve that we save for each Blend release a json
file which contains the package dependencies (taken from the task files)
under a dependency_data/ directory (this directory should exist into the
Blend root directory). Then we compare the json files for two releases and
we dump the differences into the debian/changelog.

For the moment I committed to every Blend the needed files so when we
replace the current blends-dev package with the new, we can be sure that no
errors will occur due to missing json files.

In debian-multimedia Blend case I do not have the permissions to the git
repository so I can't make the commit myself. So can you add me as a member
so I can make the commit(my alioth name is ekiagias-guest)?

Or else I have attached the files that need to added so you can make the
commit yourself.
*EDIT: I tried to send the mail but it failed because of attached files, so
I resend it without attachments.

Here's the relevant discussion with Andreas[1].

# On branch master
# Changes to be committed:
#   (use "git reset HEAD <file>..." to unstage)
#
#    new file:   dependency_data/debian-multimedia_0.2.json
#    new file:   dependency_data/debian-multimedia_0.3.json
#

Thanks for your time.

Kind regards

Emmanouil
