Re: about debian/copyright



Coin,

Quoting Hleb Valoshka <375gnu@gmail.com>:

Should I mention all contributors in debian/copyright, or "Copyright:
2010-2013 Eric Wong <normalperson@yhbt.net> and contributors" will be
enough?

You should encourage upstream to maintain a AUTHORS file with major
contributors. Having one or two tiny patches is not enough to really
get copyright, but important contributions should be tracked upstream
and then in debian/copyright.

In the meanwhile maybe you can get the (probably short) list of people
with a high changelog appearance count added to the copyright file.

Regards.
