Here is my proposed policy amendment to describe it. Dear Ian, thank you for your patch and for your work on dgit. In light of the discussion about how our infrastructure handles this field, I would like to wait for further testing and adoption before adding it to the Policy. Please do not hesitate to ping us when you think it is time. About the name, what does "Master" mean ? Isn't that misleading if the referenced commit is not on the master branch ? About the specification of the commit hash: why is it not needed for a package uploaded to a given suite, that the commit is reachable in refs/dgit/suite ? Also, what kind of commits in dgit repository are not reachable in refs/dgit/* ? I am asking because I wonder if the description is going too much in details. Lastly, in case of the dgit repositories would move from the Alioth project 'dgit-repos' to somewhere else, could you propose a wording that is more generic, and that is more explicit on what a 'dgit-repos' is ? Have a nice day, PS: off-topic question: do you have comments to make about the documentation of Dpkg's triggers to the Policy ? -- Charles Plessy Tsurumi, Kanagawa, Japan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
