Hi,
Also, I was wondering whether we should have a "[binincompat]" flag similar to the "[security]" one, to automatically trigger informations for other maintainers; this message could contain information (or a link to it) how to deal with that; typically that would be simply test and update the release to enforce a rebuild.
Good idea. I think we could even expand it to something like a generic [notify] or [important] flag so we have a way to inform people of relevant updates (ie the j2re > jre rename), and put directions in the commit message.
On a related note, the notify script needs some rewriting since it actually does not understand pushes with more commits. Will look into it this week.
Good idea, Johannes. I also agree with Simone that a generic flag could be used to encompass incompatibilities, renames, structural changes (/home/www -> /var/www), etc. I anticipate these occurances would be relatively sparse, so users would not mind subscribing to one list to see all of them. +1 -- Jay Dolan jdolan.dyndns.org A: Because it's annoying to read.
