Cool, I didn't want to step on Evo's shoes by removing stuff I didn't think was usefull (but could have been somehow), so this cleaned up version could be your first official upload. > 1.0.3rc1 is out. I don't think it's a good idea to upload RC-level versions, unless you're pretty sure these versions are just for really minor bug solving. Else they might end up generating unecessary and duplicated bug reports, IMHO. > But I would suggest an alternative solution: I am member of the upstream > authors team and I am maintaining the Debian packaging files since a > while.

OTOH, it's generally regarded[1] as the best option not to include the debian dir upstream, so it would be nice to remove it, if possible. Is the version on your (Daniel Leidert's) site already cleaned up? Just as a side question: Daniel Baumann is already in queue to become a DD, what about Daniel Leidert? This is not really important, it's mainly just curiosity so I can understand the future 'modus operandi' for the uploads (Will I - or any other DD, for that matter - have to sponsor each and every upload?). Cheers [1] allright, I'm to lazy to find the links to the discussions regarding this, but I can find it if you reeeeally want to know =] -- Leo Antunes <costelaaa@ig.com.br> | <costela@debian.org> | <costela@gmail.com>
