Re: Initial Grinder package



Hi Andreas,

Thank you for your advices.
The only thing I would like you to change is the authorship of the
manpages.  While it is correct that you can claim yourself as the author
of the manpage it would be more precise to inform that you did this by
the help of help2man for the Debian distribution and upstream is free to
take over these.  (There is some kind of fixed phrase for Debian written
manpages which you can look up in our SVN repository in several examples
or at other places.)

If you have done so feel free to ping me again for an upload.

I could not find the fixed phrase you mention. However, I noticed that packages which rely on help2man like Velvet or Bowtie omit the [author] section in their manpages. I am now following their example for the Grinder package. I believe that this should address your issue. I also added a basic load test.

Does one generally need to ping you for every upload, or is it generally sufficient to modify the changelog file from 'UNRELEASED' to 'unstable'?

Best,

Florent
