Huh? Upstreams knowing about the Debian BTS? Sure, in an ideal world, that's the case. But most upstreams don't follow the BTS/don't use it, simply because they don't have time to do that. So it's better to provide a new source of information (patches.d.o), with only the most important information, without asking upstream to go through all bugs in a package to find a few useful patches. -- | Lucas Nussbaum | [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.lucas-nussbaum.net/ | | jabber: [EMAIL PROTECTED] GPG: 1024D/023B3F4F | -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
