Hi >This upload looks like it was made by Peter Green. >But I was told on IRC that his only involvement was posting a patch to >the BTS (with a comment that the patch was only build-tested). >The actual upload was made by Gianfranco Costamagna.
yes this is true >Gianfranco, as per Policy ยง4.4, please put your own name in the >changelog trailer when making an upload. well, it seems unfair wrt Peter, who actually did *all* the work and even updated the changelog. I also fail to parse policy in that case, but I fully trust your words so next time I'll just override the signature (this is something I usually do when people submit just patches, not the whole work on BTS). e.g. with a patch I would have done apply the patch [ foo bar ] * fix patch foobar signed by me In this case the signature was already there... >Please also always post debdiff to the BTS before making an NMU. being lazy, and having the debdiff already there... made me think it was good to avoid this step >(I guess that in this case debdiff is equal to what Peter posted in the >BTS, but it's not obvious, and I shouldn't have to guess.) I hope you agree it was somewhere a corner case, I though about sending to the BTS something like "I uploaded the debdiff posted before", but I forgot :( Sorry for that! BTW on top of the changes, me and a friend of mine, tested the basic functions of the imapcopy tool. (not sure if the testing was complete or not, since it was just a FTBFS fix and it was somewhere trivial). the fix was referring network operations, it might break somewhere in some particular networks, but I think this isn't the case. Sorry again, and yes please consider the above debdiff uploaded bit-bit identical. thanks! G.
