[ CCing Jakub Wilk (Debian maintainer) and Joe Damato (listed in
ltrace's debian/changelog file) ]

Hi Petr,

I would like to see a v0.7.0 release soonish :-)!

[ Release Candidate ]

But... what about a Releace Candidate (RC) before releasing a v0.7.0
final to give people a chance for feedback?
What about announcing such an RC to Linux (news) online services like
Freshmeat/Icewalkers/Slashdot/etc.?
( Tarballs with a constant URL for downloading is highly appreciated. )

[ Debianizing ]

I would also like to see a polished up debian/ directory.
It is while ago I did some debianizing but I have CCed the current
Debian maintainer and the guy from ltrace-git debian/changelog [1].
IIRC files like README, NEWS etc are also recognized when packaging...
but I have to consult the Debian maintainers guide as well.

[ Copyright notes | debian/copyright file ]

I had a quick look at some recent checked-in files into the ltrace GIT
repository.
You happen to know if all the files have a updated (C)opyright header?
This is IIRC very important to Debian folks to have an up2date
debian/copyright file [2]!

[ Status of archs ]

Is there a file containing the status of the various archs?

[ "org mode" ]

Never heard of that, more infos?

[ Thanks ]

Thanks Petr, you killed that GNU-CVS-alike ChangeLog non-sense...
Thanks Edgar for pushing MIPS arch!

Some small ideas...

Kind Regards,
