[Debian-med-packaging] Did the libkmc-dev package get uploaded?

[Sascha Steinbiss]

Hi Kevin and Andreas,

I have just finished the manpages and also cleaned up some other things, and the package looks good now :)

Before I push the final set of changes, a quick question: One of the things I also did was remove a new PDF and binaries without source from upstream, but I only noticed these after import-orig upstream and pushing to git, so we already have an upstream tag for 2.3-dfsg in our repo pointing to an upstream state that still includes these files. I am not too keen on calling the clean version -dfsg2 though, since the former one wasn't uploaded to the archive yet.
Would it be OK with you if I just moved the 2.3-dfsg upstream tag in the git repo to point at the new, clean upstream state, even if that means force-pushing the tag once? Otherwise, do you have any other suggestions?

Cheers
Sascha

It seems to be not trivial to automate generating man pages from the help output, as ‘kmc_tools’ does not like to work well with help2man and the current automation seems quite specific...
