Hi all,
If you are receiving this mail that means you are participating in the
Debian derivatives census[1] and that your entry has an issue.
Please ensure that:
1. Your APT repositories have SHA-1 hashes for every source and
binary package so we can compare with old Debian packages.
2. If you are using SHA-1 hashes in your APT repositories, please
ensure that there is such a hash for every single file,
especially for all the source package files.
3. SHA-256 hashes are not and will not be used by the census, but
Debian strongly encourages the use of hashes stronger than
SHA-1.
The reason for these is that we are pursuing integration of information
about packages from derivatives into Debian infrastructure and that
integration will be using SHA-1 hashes to determine if packages were
ever in Debian. Please note that if you are inheriting Packages or
Sources files from Debian then missing SHA-1/SHA-256 hashes could be the
fault of the Debian archive (http://bugs.debian.org/637563).
In addition please make sure there is a contact point listed in the
maintainer field of your census page.
While you are editing your page, please fill in as much of the fields as
you have data for.
Please direct any questions you have to the derivatives list[3] or IRC
channel[4]. We strongly encourage you to join both of these.
