That would be a good idea. However I'm not sure if a recipe would be the best way. Daniel Hobach ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) is currently working on reorganising the MOTU documentation. You should get in touch with him. You could also ask on [EMAIL PROTECTED] what are the main rules for writing a proper changelog entry. You may get more input on this subject and then write up all the suggestions somewhere in the wiki. > > ** Attachment added: "pam-dotfile_0.7-1ubuntu1.debdiff" > http://launchpadlibrarian.net/9287053/pam-dotfile_0.7-1ubuntu1.debdiff The debdiff looks good now. -- Minor error in README example https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/110829 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
