Re: Bug#27906: PROPOSED] Binary-only NMU's

[John Lapeyre <lapeyre@physics.Arizona.EDU>]

	Sorry, I missed most of this.  I get a lot of binary only NMU's
from Paul and Roman with an accompanying diff that also goes in the BTS.
I just want to register my vote for allowing this.
	It is an unstable distribution-- this is meant to be a temporary
situation; putting the patch on the BTS I think easily qualifies as making
the source available.  Consider also, that even without the diff, a
package is far easier to build than a typical DFSG compliant piece of
software that I download from sunsite.  DFSG does not say, 'must build
with a single command on every platform' .  Finally, it makes life much
easier for both of the developers involved.
	John
