Package: developers-reference Version: 3.3.8 Tags: patch Hi,
I think that the section about "Who can do an NMU" should be removed. There's no point in keeping it. Why wouldn't non-DD be allowed to prepare NMU, and then find a sponsor? The attached (trivial) patch does that. -- | Lucas Nussbaum | [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.lucas-nussbaum.net/ | | jabber: [EMAIL PROTECTED] GPG: 1024D/023B3F4F |
