Tagging is not a good idea because
- the package won't show up at PET's "ready for upload" section [0]
- the tag should match what gets uploaded (and is therefore created
at upload time) which doesn't work if there are some more changes
needed (and according to my still-not-so-good git knowledge
removing/re-creating tags is a "bad idea"™)
And indeed, there are two minor issues that should be fixed before an
upload:
- W: libregexp-common-perl source: changelog-should-mention-nmu
- W: libregexp-common-perl source: source-nmu-has-incorrect-version-number 2011041701-2
-> either add yourself to Uploaders or add "Team upload" to
debian/copyright
- I: libregexp-common-perl: spelling-error-in-manpage usr/share/man/man3/Regexp::Common.3pm.gz mispelt misspelt
-> add to d/p/fix-pod-spelling.patch
I guess this needs a -3 revision (and someone who builds it with -v
afterwards ...)
(TODO also added to d/changelog, as usual)
Thanks for your work!
