Bug#749815: Package updated
Hi Andreas,
>I have two initial comments (Without having done an in-depth review):
>We could create an alioth project including a mailinglist, and use
>that mailinglist as maintainer, and put us all as uploaders. It might
>ease collaboration, if we just need one email to remember for

>@debian.org email for package maintenance).
I changed your mail address, however I'm not sure how to create an alioth group,
maybe I need to be a DD for this?
Feel free to do it, of course I prefer a lot this way :D
(also for team uploads is better)
>You have removed a whole lot that has no use in the package such as
>embedded libraries (Which is good) - but you could have made an
>"Files-Excluded"-entry in the copyright for this. This would make those
>files be removed when using something like "git-importorig --uscan"

yes thanks, I was already aware of this, but I didn't use because I though
I was the only one caring about poedit :)
Now that we are at least three I changed it, however I think the correct string is
git-import-orig --pristine-tar --uscan :)
I tried to import again the package and "git whatchanged" didn't even show the entry,
so I presume it is working correctly :)
BTW upstream changed the name in 1.6.9-oss, while I imported it as 1.6.9, do you think we should
change the name accordingly (I mean debian/changelog)?
many thanks for the feedbacks,
Gianfranco
