Hi Laurent, You should talk to upstream to make sure that this doesn't happen again. Modifying released tarballs is a terrible practice. I've uploaded -2 using the orig tarball currently in the archive. You don't really need to bother with uploading to mentors as long as the package is up-to-date in the pkg-ruby-extras SVN repo. Please ask for an unblock (reportbug release.debian.org) so it migrates to squeeze. - Lucas -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-rc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
