I had chosen the normal revisions because of this page, linked from the "Instructions for Maintainers" page: http://people.debian.org/~codehelp/#sponsor in particular the second item in the requirements section. > - -v option for a .changes file over -1 to -3|uploaded revision How should i use this option exactly? In the newest .changes file only the last log entry is included by default. Using -v1 includes the complete changelog into the .changes file. That is strange, because the man page says: "Use changelog information from all versions *strictly* later than version." Well, for the next upload i will use -v1 to include the whole changelog. > - -sa option for including the .orig.tar.gz That makes sense. Kind regards, Michael Krauss
