RE: [Pkg-kde-extras] Bug#498263: kaffeine: please provide debian/README.source
Sven,
We provide a patch target, which we felt meets the requirement of policy 2.8.
debian-devel, is there a view, does one need README.source if you provide a patch target and use one of the standard patch management systems? Seems like this would cover 90% of use cases and add very little value!

Version: 0.8.7-1
Severity: normal
Hi,
policy version 3.8.0 recommends that packages using a patch system
should ship a debian/README.source file, see section 4.14. Your package
does not include such a file, although it claims to comply to
Standards-Version 3.8.0.
It seems that anyone who wants to hack around kaffeine has to learn cdbs
and quilt first, this is IMHO not so nice.
