I was assuming we'd have the current official version be in the debian-policy package, and published at http://www.debian.org/doc/ or http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ rather than on dep.debian.net. The final version of DEP-5 would have a pointer to the version in debian-policy. That's why I'm having such as bad time figuring out how to put the version in the URL. However, it now strikes me that the filename in debian-policy can just have the version number. So the filename would start out as copyright-format-1.0.txt, and when it changes, the the filename changes to copyright-format-1.1.txt. Does that sound reasonable? The URL for Format would then be something like http://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/copyright-format-1.0.html That's a bit long, perhaps. Having an updated DEP-5 be generated from debian-policy on dep.debian.net, when DEP is not used to update it, seems unpleasantly complicated to me. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-project-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
