... or rather who pay attention but are to stupid to parse it correctly
to obtain this very piece of information. Feel free to call me stupid because
to failied to see a connection between the broken upload and the announcement.
This inability was probably amplified by the fact that I failed to upload
even two days _before_ the d-d-a announcement.
devscripts (and the debsign tool) is simply a convenience package and not
having an up-to-date version of the package does not prevent you from doing
your work. You can just as easily run dpkg-buildpackage in a chroot to build
your packages and that has been generating proper signed .changes files the
entire time.
Agreed - provided I have nice friends who patiently explain in a way
that even people like me are able to understand. I think it is better to
explain before such things happen.
Kind regards
Andreas.
