I tend to agree with you, but current practice (by some devels) show the countrary, and these two point give me some doubts: - a very old package with very old standard, but still policy compliant. need a std version bumping? Where to put the line? One per release? - we still have "no real change" upload, when changing maintainers (but IMO this must change, to allow changes without uploads) Maybe a policy release (i.e. in annonce or devel news) should recommend not to do bumping only uploads. ciao cate
