Package: release.debian.org Severity: normal User: release.debian.org@packages.debian.org Usertags: tpu A bug report[1] concerning omissions in debian/copyright was filed against the version of rkward in testing (0.5.7-2). Meanwhile, due to somewhat imperfect communication, I have already uploaded a new upstream version (0.6.0-1) to unstable. It should be noted that there has been some controversy about the scope and severity of the bug (see the bug report log, and threads [2] and [3] for details). Nonetheless, debian/copyright in rkward 0.5.7-2 is certainly buggy, and the fix is trivial from a technical point of view. Thus I would like to ask permission to upload a fixed package to testing-proposed-updates. You can preview my proposed upload at [4]. For your convenience, I have also prepared a recursive diff between the unpacked and patched source trees of 0.5.7-2 and 0.5.7-3 ([5]). As you can see, only debian/changelog and debian/copyright have been changed. Thanks!
