As others have already pointed out I don't think that's a good idea. I consider adding only the persons having actually touched a package to be more logical both for us and for the general public. > 3. CDBS classes [3].

Maybe it's because I hardly know CDBS but at the moment I dislike it because it seems like black magic which makes reading and debugging debian/rules more difficult. > 4.

Until now I had no problems with "uscan -report; wget $copypasted_url; svn-upgrade $new.tar.gz" but I don't mind a wrapper script ;-) > And, hey - If > debian/watch has the information, if uscan can check if there are > new versions, why must we do it manually?

If I understand [4] correctly they usually use the watch file and have this YAML file called pkg-ruby-extras.sources only "for packages where watch files are not a solution" - do we have this situation? > [4] http://pkg-ruby-extras.alioth.debian.org/ruby-pkg-tools/sources.html Cheers, gregor -- .''`. http://info.comodo.priv.at/ | gpg key ID: 0x00F3CFE4 : :' : debian: the universal operating system - http://www.debian.org/ `. `' member of https://www.vibe.at/ | how to reply: http://got.to/quote/ `- NP: Flying Pickets: Only You
