dpkg 1.3.10 contains version 2.0.0.0 of the package maintainers' manuals. With this release the new source format is made official.
Maintainers should start thinking about converting their packages. There is no rush yet, but packages which you're updating anyway are probably best converted now. If you encounter any problems, particularly any which may require the scheme to be changed and thus require changes to all converted packages so far, please report them to debian-devel or debian-bugs ASAP. You'll find that the new policy manual has a set of instructions for converting packages. Ian. debian-manuals (2.0.0.0) unstable; * Footnote added OK'ing copyrights which require name changes. * More detail about changelog format names. * Problematic licence restrictions are formatted as lists. * Mentioned 822-date utility as way to generate RFC822 format dates. * Typos corrected. * Released. -- Ian Jackson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Mon, 26 Aug 1996 14:27:34 +0100
