Re: About access to git.debian.org and the DPMT

Hello again.

I've prepared 0.4~b1-2 with the following changes:

please use lowercase "t" and remove the dot from the end of short
description

Corrected

it's not mandatory but help2man is so easy to use...
(and even if you decide to not write/generate one, let lintian complain
about it)

I now auto-generate both man pages at build time. I was unsure if this is the right avenue (it won't affect cross building as this is an -all package but perhaps there are some guidelines on how to use help2man). I'll work on getting upstream man pages generated with sphinx, which should fix that issue in a couple of releases.

you already have commit access,

I'll inject the -2 version shortly, thanks.

please move -doc package to "extra" priority; sorry I forgot to mention
it in my last mail

Done

I also made sure to fix the vendorized packages. Those are now patched away, totaling in three patches in debian/patches. Two will be dropped by the time beta2 is released. The remaining one has to be carried for as long as python3.2 is supported by the upstream plainbox project but should not change so won't be a burden to maintain.

Thanks
