Right, these are two different things. However, the binNMU change is mostly/only useful for the release managers and buildd admins, so I fail to see why not having documented/announced it less than a week after its implementation should imply it was done in `secret', as those people are busy with the next library transition. To make this clear, I totally welcome your post documenting the new binNMU features while the authors have been too busy to do so for now. And the existance of the wanna-build/buildd/sbuild packages is not a secret, either. > As for http://www.debian.org/devel/buildd: > > $ grep sbuild http://www.debian.org/devel/buildd > <em>wanna-build</em> and calls <em>sbuild</em> to build the packages. > <dt><a href="http://packages.debian.org/sbuild";>sbuild</a></dt> > > This nice public page only points to the nice public sbuild debian > package.

So it is documented there as well, good. Michael -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
