Bug#760257: RFS: plowshare4/1.0.5-1 -- file sharing tools
Ok, two FTP-Master told me taht I can upload. From IRC now (Brazil, UTC-3):
[11:56] <eriberto> Hi. I have a package in NEW. Can I upload a package
with a new upstream version or I should avoid it? I think that is
better wait the package arrives to testing, but it was a question in a
talk with other DD. Thanks.
[11:57] <ansgar> eriberto: Just upload it.
[11:58] <eriberto> angar: What happens to the previous package?
[11:58] <paultag> it sits there
[11:59] <paultag> we just get it twice
[11:59] <paultag> If you want, you can add a -v1.0 and include the
changelog from the last upload
[11:59] <paultag> than we can reject it out
[11:59] <paultag> but that's not something people do often
[11:59] <paultag> and only if the v1 has freeness issues
[12:00] <eriberto> paultag: So, I should avoid it, right?
[12:00] <paultag> avoid what
[12:01] <eriberto> upload a new version freely, without major reasons.
[12:02] <paultag> You can do it, that's fine, people do that
[12:02] <eriberto> ok, thanks.
So Vincent is right.
Carl, I will to lunch now. I will see your package when I go back.
Thanks a lot Vincent!
Cheers,
Eriberto
