Although we have a nice script for automatic updating, I do want to ask
you to not just upload with a gem2deb >= 0.3.0 build-depend bump, but
also to:
- take care of lintian items/warning/errors,
- fix important and RC bugs if they have easy fixes,
- include new upstream.
As far as I could see, a lot of library have new upstream releases which
are not major, so mainly bugfix releases. It would be nice to have
these also in Wheezy of course.
Thanks again,
Paul
