Re: Working as a team, let's take care of all problems

Hello,

Status update on libpff.

While I'm preparing libpff package, I found difficult to fix lintian warning on the libpff.3 manpage [1]. The root cause is multiple warnings from coming from man. The fix would require a very big rewrite of the manpage.  If somebody is good with man syntax and can help, please step in.  I'm thinking on just reporting this issue upstream. 

I will commit other fixes next days. So the next release will look much better, than current package state.

  Best regards,

Neither of this is needed. You can just do a proper merge. You
run "gbp import-dsc" of 20120802-5.1 in a branch that contains the
20120802-5 tag. Then you switch back to debian/master and you merge
your temporary branch.

That's the correct solution that doesn't need history rewriting.

Ok, let's do it right way.

 

You already have access to all pkg-security repositories. You can check by
yourself:

Oh! That's perfect :)
