-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 Format: 1.8 Date: Sun, 18 Jun 2017 19:27:48 -0700 Source: debian-policy Binary: debian-policy Architecture: source all Version: 4.0.0.1 Distribution: unstable Urgency: low Maintainer: Debian Policy List <debian-pol...@lists.debian.org> Changed-By: Russ Allbery <r...@debian.org> Description: debian-policy - Debian Policy Manual and related documents Closes: 175064 181123 568374 688220 698012 700532 734662 746514 759186 759492 768117 768292 781654 792853 793493 793999 794902 798309 809382 816249 816515 819660 820197 821365 821859 822059 823348 823910 824922 829367 830989 833177 835490 835876 841877 849483 850646 852314 Changes: debian-policy (4.0.0.1) unstable; urgency=low . * Upload to unstable. * Clarify the conflict policy between /path and /usr/path by adding the leading slash in front of the first path. Thanks, Ferenc Wágner. * Change http URLs to https for every resource available over https. * Replace broken CPAN URL in the Perl policy with the current URL, and turn this into an in-line link rather than a footnote with the full URL. This hides the URL in the text output, but it's not horribly important for the text version and easy to find with a search. * Fix formatting of the list of shlibs and symbol file locations. These were mistakenly converted to itemized lists instead of variable lists during the DocBook conversion, which produced inferior output. * Use UTF-8 instead of ISO-8859-1 as the character set for the text versions of policy documents. * Further standardize author and copyright notices. - Add the notice from the main document that the copyright notices are incomplete to the other documents with copyright notices. - Add the Debian Policy Mailing List as an author of the debconf specification. - Replace (incorrect) Software in the Public Interest copyrights with copyright notices for the original authors. - Standardize capitalization of Debian Policy Mailing List in notices. - Update copyright notices in debian/copyright. * Add a full copy of the BSD license without advertising clause to the <legalinfo> section of the debconf specification, instead of just a reference to it. * Update the GPL license statements to the current recommended form, which doesn't include a street address for the FSF. Use all-caps for the warranty disclaimer just in case it matters. Link to the general FSF license page to make it easier to find the GPLv2, which is technically the license under which these documents are distributed, even if the GPLv3 may be used if desired. * Completely rewrite the build system to use debhelper. - Remove all hand-rolled package build rules and let debhelper do the package construction. - Remove gzip compression from the main build and let debhelper handle compression of text files. This allows debhelper to control the gzip flags and do whatever is correct for reproducible builds. - The top-level Makefile now has conventional all and install targets that build all documents and would install them (not that anyone is likely to use the install target other than the packaging). - Get the document publication dates from debian/changelog instead of the current date for more reproducible builds. - Do xmllint validation of the copyright-format and debconf specification documents as well. - Remove a bunch of old leftovers from the clean and distclean targets and make distclean identical to clean. Stop cleaning editor autosave files and patch droppings (this can be destructive). - Move all doc-base files into the debian packaging directory. * Restructure the command list in the debconf specification document to pass xmllint, which didn't like including the body of an itemizedlist as an XML entity. * Add missing release date to the 4.0.0 upgrading-checklist entry. * Fix tools/policy-bug-report to not fail when bug lists are empty and to ignore closed bugs. * Don't delete virtual-package-names-list.txt during make distclean. * Make distclean depend on clean to remove stamp-* files. * Update Standards-Version of the debian-policy package itself. . debian-policy (4.0.0.0) experimental; urgency=low .

Many thanks to Osamu Aoki and Guillem Jover for lots of hard work on the conversion. This was a huge conversion, so there will probably be some lingering formatting issues, incorrect markup, and less-than-ideal output. Please report any problems as bugs. (Closes: #175064, #700532, #809382) * Additional fixes from Guillem Jover as part of the DocBook conversion: - Stop distributing the source SGML files as part of the installed package. There doesn't seem to be any point in doing this. - Switch to xsltproc and dblatex instead of OpenJade. - Stop using tidy on the generated files since it generates larger files and the output from xsltproc is already compliant and fairly clean. - Remove unused Build-Depends. - Use entities instead of literal <, >, and & characters. - Use <var> instead of escaped angle brackets for metavariables. - Use <var> instead of <em> inside <tt>. - Avoid slashes in section IDs. - Convert a comment about maintenance policy in the Menu Policy document to a regular paragraph in the document. - Replace a comment reference to the policy maintenance process with an actual link to Process.md. - Remove obsolete SGML comments. * Move the description of < and > relations to a footnote to make abundantly clear that they're no longer valid relation operators in dependencies. (Closes: #816515) * Clarify informative mentions of debian/tmp in the appendices to document the now-common use of debian/<pkg> instead as the temporary staging area. Document that convention, instead of debian/tmp-something, for multi-binary packages. Thanks, Niels Thykier. (Closes: #816249) * Remove lingering wording that implied that build-arch and build-indep targets are optional. Thanks, Ferenc Wagner, Jakub Wilk, and Charles Plessy. (Closes: #793999) * Rather than giving the paths to the installed shlibs and symbols files and then saying those paths shouldn't be used, just say to use dpkg-query --control-show. Recommend --control-show instead of --control-path, since the latter is deprecated. Patch from Salvatore Bonaccorso. (Closes: #688220) * Explicitly give Unicode code points in the definition of the syntax of Debian control files and, where appropriate, show the character. Patch from Ben Finney. (Closes: #821365) * Remove obsolete footnote about a versioned dependency on a liblockfile1 release from 1999. Thanks, Jakub Wilk. (Closes: #794902) * Fix the long name of the Common Public License in the copyright-format policy. It is just Common Public License, with no leading "IBM". Thanks, Stefano Zacchiroli. (Closes: #781654) * Fix the copyright-format examples to not have duplicate License paragraphs. Thanks, Stefan <b...@bc-bd.org>. (Closes: #824922) * Replace reference to dbus-launch in the autopkgtest documentation with dbus-run-session. Patch from Simon McVittie. (Closes: #835876) * Add an example of an architecture restriction in a dependency with multiple architectures separated by spaces. (Closes: #734662) * Replace use of markdown with MultiMarkdown for the autopkgtest documentation and convert README and Process to MultiMarkdown, thus dropping the last org-mode files and the build dependency on Emacs. Patch from Guillem Jover. (Closes: #849483) * Add some additional information to the upgrading-checklist entry for the 3.9.8.0 release. * Fix debian/changelog and upgrading-checklist dates for the 3.9.8.0 release to match the actual upload. (Closes: #822059) * Fix duplicated "the" words in 4.4 and 8.6.3.2. Patch from Valentin Samir. (Closes: #830989) * Clean up the upgrading checklist a bit: - Rewrite the introduction to read a bit more smoothly and mention that the Standards-Version value omits the minor patch number. - Remove the minor patch number from all the version headings except for the anomalies that contain normative changes, and note those explicitly. - Remove some unhelpful section headings and trailing colons in very old upgrading checklist entries. - Standardize the release date format. * Compress all files with gzip -n to avoid embedding timestamps, enabling reproducible builds. * Redo some of the Makefile and debian/rules dependencies to avoid ambiguous pattern rules and to ensure that make at the top level rebuilds output files if input files change. * Switch to https URLs for Vcs-Git and Vcs-Browser. * Use the same URL for both Vcs-Git and Vcs-Browser, which now works fine and has some advantages over the gitweb version for Vcs-Browser. Thanks, Mattia Rizzolo. * Run wrap-and-sort -ast. * Tag as Multi-Arch: foreign (mostly to silence the hinter). . [ Sean Whitton ] * Remove references to DebianDoc-SGML from README.md. * Fix typo & comma splice in Process.md.
