Hi Ian.
I love being on the debian-announce-list. But I must admit, that
the packagedescriptions generally lack. I am sure t
You did not fix the other bug. Nils, for example has two entries :
Nils Rennebarth <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> (1 bugs):
gpm 1669 shutdown hangs on gpm -k until mouse is moved

Right, I think I've fixed the bug that caused it to list bugs that had
been marked as done. There is a file (well, three files actually) on
ftp.debian.org that can override the Maintainer field from the
packages in the archive; I've edited this a little, but there are
probably still remaining prob

I've moved the new ELF packages that David and Ray are working on to
/debian/private/project/elf. As soon as they give the word, I'll move
them into the distribution. For now, I urge everyone to upgrade their
copies of gcc, libc, etc., as we're going to start wanting to building
ELF packages fair

What's the protocol for package uploads from here on out?
Upload a.out packages? Announce where?
Upload elf packages? Announce where?
If both a.out and elf packages are to be uploaded, how are
uploade

I know I saw some mail about this on deb
I accidentally deleted the test for whether the bug had been marked as
done. Don't bother reporting this, ahm, interesting feature any more.
I'll fix it and produce another list.
Any other comments that people haven't made yet ?

Package: xwpe
Version: 1.4.1-1
xwpe requires old X library (libX11.so.3) which is in the xcompat
package. But xwpe does not "depend" on xcompat.

Below is a listing generated by a new version of the bug summaries
script.
What do people think of it ?
I currently have the following crontab entries for generating bug
summaries to debian-devel:

23 16 * * 2 /home
Note: this version is made to cooperate with David's new ELF packages
and the new directory structure (ELF libs in /usr/lib; a.out libs in
/usr/i486-linuxaout).
Changes since elf-libgdbm 1.7.3-1
* Renamed to libgdbm. Added 'Provides: elf-libgdbm' to control file.
* Use /usr/ instead of /usr/i486-

Good point. I agree. General distribution of bug reports is a useful
