Hello everyone,
My name is Emmanouil Kiagias and
I am working with Andreas Tille on Redesign metapackage creation for
Debian Blends[0] GSoC Project. This project will replace the current
blends-dev package (mainly the blend-gen-control script).
One new feature of blends-dev provides an automatic
changelog entry which dumps the packages differences between the latest
and the previous release of a Blend into the debian/changelog file
(track added/removed packages between releases). To achieve that we save
for each Blend release a json file which contains the package
dependencies (taken from the task files) under a dependency_data/
directory (this directory should exist into the Blend root directory).
Then we compare the json files for two releases and we dump the
differences into the debian/changelog.
For the moment I committed to every Blend the needed
files so when we replace the current blends-dev package with the new, we
can be sure that no errors will occur due to missing json files.
In debian-multimedia Blend case I do not have the permissions to
the git repository so I can't make the commit myself. So can you add me
as a member so I can make the commit(my alioth name is ekiagias-guest)?
Or else I have attached the files that need to added so you can make the
commit yourself.
*EDIT: I tried to send the mail but it failed because of attached files, so I resend it without attachments.
Here's the relevant discussion with Andreas[1].
# On branch master

Thanks for your time.

Emmanouil
