[Pkg-mol-devel] MOL uploads

[Gaudenz Steinlin]

Hi Aurélien

My upload motto for this upload: release early, release often or we will
never make it into etch.

This was partly unintended. I was under the impression that the new
packages will not need NEW processing. See
http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2006/08/msg00456.html. I was
obviously wrong. Nevertheless I think it is the right decision to change
the source package name. I think we already discussed this previously.

I hope NEW processing will not take too long. Most packages currently in
NEW are only some days old.

This was probably due to the QA Upload. I added it now and it will be in
the next upload.

There were no code changes to this package. It is built from a completely
different source. In fact the current version numbering is somewhat
missleading because the mol-drivers-linux releases are not coupled to
the other mol releases.

You bumped the upstream version number in the changelog, but I could not
find a corresponding upstream tarball.

As the mol-drivers versions are not really coupeld to the mol version
(there is no versioned dependency). I don't think that an immediate
upload is necessary. If a new package is ready I would be happy to
upload it.
