Peter,

I would just make the changes and re-upload with the same revision. My understanding is that packages always stay at the starting revision until they are accepted.

I'm new to this myself though, so I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong.

Regards,

Hi all!

I'm Petar (p-vasic on launchpad, v0xel elsewhere), and while I've been
a long time Ubuntu and Linux user (I've been using Ubuntu since first
version, and linux since 2001), the only things I've contributed are
couple of simple patches to Quickly and some other projects.

Recently, I've started a python project [1] using Quickly, and I've
been using PPAs to distribute it. However, I've come to a point where
I needed a python module that is not yet packaged for Ubuntu (or
Debian), so I'm using it as an opportunity to get the know the
packaging process, and to get involved in MOTU.

I've read all of the documentation I could find, made a package
following guidelines as closely as I could, and uploaded it to
REVU[2].

Since this is my first try at this, I've made some mistakes.

Now, I've made the changes suggested by REVU, but since this is a new
package and not yet in Ubuntu, should I increase the revision and
upload it again? Or is there some other procedure in this case?
