Bug#717739: debian-policy: policy examplifies minutes as (00-59) but seconds as (00-60)
Package: debian-policy Severity: minor Tags: patch In the changelog chapter of policy (4.4), it says > mm is the two-digit minutes (00-59) > ss is the two-digit seconds (00-60) - which looks a bit strange to me - shouldn't both these be 00-59? see http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-source.html#s-dpkgchangelog Patch attached. -- System Information: Debian Release: 7.1 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 3.2.0-4-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=sv_SE.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=sv_SE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash -- Andreas Rönnquist gus...@gusnan.se diff --git a/policy.sgml b/policy.sgml index 5760a3f..03d187e 100644 --- a/policy.sgml +++ b/policy.sgml @@ -1778,7 +1778,7 @@ zope. is the four-digit year (e.g. 2010) hh is the two-digit hour (00-23) mm is the two-digit minutes (00-59) - ss is the two-digit seconds (00-60) + ss is the two-digit seconds (00-59) + or - is the the time zone offset from Coordinated Universal Time (UTC).
