Bug#715324: mdadm: many files missing from upstream (docs, mdassemble and raid6check)

[Christoph Anton Mitterer]

Package: mdadm
Version: 3.2.5-5
Severity: normal


Hi.

It seems that many files that upstream distributes are missing:
- ANNOUNCE-*
  These have replaced the changelog a while ago it seems,... and
  several of them contain much more useful information than just
  git log output.
- external-reshape-design.txt, mdmon-design.txt, README.initramfs
  I don't have a strong opinion on them... README.initramfs may be
  useless for debian... anyway... the package already contains
  documentation (like RAID5_versus_RAID10.txt) which is not even
  part of mdadm and much more outdated and/or questionable.
- mdassemble + manpage
  well... even if we don't use that in Debians initramfs and even if
  there is a strong reason to even not include it... that should
  than probably be documented
- raid6check + manpage
  very nice tool... why is it missing?


Cheers,
Chris.
