We need a set of debian/changelog headers that indicate some predefined states of the package that need to be discovered automatically (i.e. by PET)
Documentation
Documentation of the current practice on our website.
Needed indications and proposed headers
- package is not ready for upload
- having UNRELEASED for the distribution already does this
- changes since last upload don't warrant another upload (for example upstream fixed some problem when building on Windows)
- IGNORE-VERSION: 0.34-1 (Ryan52 added support in PET)
- waiting for something else
- WAITS-FOR: package [version] - indicates that the package is ready, but waits for another package to appear in the archive. If the version is given, the waited for package shall be of greater or equal version (Ryan52 added support in PET)
- TO-DO items - possibly added after reviewing and requiring attention from packager
