The release team have, in the past, asked people not to make changes like bumping the standards version in changes that need to be reviewed, since it adds noise to the diff and makes their job harder. So it's more than just not uploading solely for standards version changes, but also that one shouldn't change it in uploads targetted for stable. > I agree about "a gratuitous bump". About "a bump" however, I think that > fixing RC bugs combined with bumping the standards-version without > further changes is not wrong. I'm happy to go with this policy if the release team is okay with it. My understanding is that they'd rather people not do this, which is where my hesitation comes from. -- Russ Allbery (r...@debian.org) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
