The HTML version of the document are easier to read due to better typographical conventions that HTML offer. Please provide One Big HTML, the sectioned pages do not serve searching accross the whole document.

Note that this can be trivially generated from the file policy.sgml using 'debiandoc2html -1 policy.sgml'. There are two options: 1) ship policy-onefile.html in the debian-policy package. 2) change the script that update //www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ to call debiandoc2html by itself. Doing 1. increase debian-policy by about 420kb. Probably not a big deal since system with small disk do not need to install it. Cheers, -- Bill. Imagine a large red swirl here. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-policy-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org
