Josip: * Added missing bits of information about Description: fields from the old Packaging manual, closes: #172022 * Fixed a stale reference to the "base system maintainer" to base-passwd maintainer, closes: #174927 * Fixed an accidental change from /usr/share/package to /usr/share/doc in the paragraph about not depending on /usr/share/doc/package, closes: #174048 * Fixed several errors reported by Guenther Palfinger, with some help from Richard Braakman, closes: #177205, #177206, #177207, #177208, #177209 * Added versions to links and docbook-xml source-dependencies, hopefully fixes the bug with potato, and even if it doesn't, I don't care :) closes: #103459 * Fixed typos in the debconf spec noticed by Jay Bonci, closes: #178455 * Clarified that using Build-Depends for build-dependencies is not a "may" but a "should", added proper linking among various sections dealing with the dependencies so that there is no confusion, closes: #87510 If any one of those poor, misguided people ;) still thinks that the requirement should be a "must" (in _our_ meaning, not RFC "MUST"), please file a new bug, as it's quite unproductive to have to sift through a 152-page bug log which mostly goes back-and-forth with explanations how policy should work, occasionally sprinkled with offtopic stuff, too. * When asked to restart a service that isn't already running, the init script should start it, closes: #60979 * Rephrased section on configuration files to remove confusing use of "should", closes: #170019 * Rearranged the shared library information properly, closes: #109166 This change also centralizes the info on how to ship static libraries in one place (hopefully not too ambiguous), closes: #93975 * Allow examples to be placed in /usr/share/doc/package/ in packages that are meant to provide examples, closes: #69864 * Removed several references to the Policy manual etc in the stuff imported from old packaging manual, closes: #181923 * Fixed too greedy wildcard match in the logrotate example, closes: #183544 Files: c681573847ca95f0a8290957aaea7a36 833 doc optional debian-policy_3.5.9.0.dsc 7111f544864e257532b3ed1bca84ee0f 572699 doc optional debian-policy_3.5.9.0.tar.gz 40a7998a2cd2a7450562e7043fefadb0 609728 doc optional debian-policy_3.5.9.0_all.deb 6d3fe9ffc9bdddd1950b5949ecf7fc86 95043 byhand - policy.txt.gz bf03d5508abc7273970e3fe2d5edcbbc 2118 byhand - menu-policy.txt.gz e2515b142d71ad7841f2a44cfe15cc22 1560 byhand - mime-policy.txt.gz 3b2b8b544f7c1d0b700b5f0638ad023c 4496 byhand - policy-process.txt.gz 53d59d382f2cca63440a7cb88d945da2 4424 byhand - perl-policy.txt.gz 8f37c6c419260b2502e8d8ab5fce3ea9 105217 byhand - policy.html.tar.gz 2ccd5b318e61304a1afc07d5a1cd01be 2724 byhand - menu-policy.html.tar.gz f9f5ac8b0239f8fead8f6b26640c65ea 2143 byhand - mime-policy.html.tar.gz 892413f781d93a366ef22508c2e4102b 5191 byhand - policy-process.html.tar.gz d7b73a28044fa30aa5facb232dc002f6 5794 byhand - perl-policy.html.tar.gz aab901eeedcd23ae6d56c91ede2649eb 6363 byhand - debconf_specification.txt.gz a2c4b60651949b84c4ad2b8f74df3cc2 35535 byhand - debconf_specification.html 3ed7aa5a489834b24bb28ff377a34aa9 10982 byhand - libc6-migration.txt 7c6c1d1be799f750ad8085e0d3eecad8 9288 byhand - virtual-package-names-list.txt 3079b137ed179f5ceb8dd845867621c5 210466 byhand - policy.ps.gz 8a54af210e6cff6c85c98e7f84a1a3f0 435238 byhand - policy.pdf.gz 58e0adf3c1aff158d12b1d686b82ebee 18890 byhand - upgrading-checklist.txt 93679f707ec4cbc94b6f667afb1f2600 34997 byhand - fhs-2.1.html.tar.gz 02153a8048e28d94dd72c0cbcf0c1816 98312 byhand - fhs.txt -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.1 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE+aPbEIbrau78kQkwRAqEEAJ0VPXWeSlp7ARD3N/hX5WjVuW2hfwCfVeP0 XZ3hFwBOUsv1vHlj6C4O8Yc= =g488 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
