debian-policy 3.9.3.1 source package in Ubuntu
Changelog
debian-policy (3.9.3.1) unstable; urgency=low * Fix cross-reference to control field syntax in Policy 5.4 (source package control files). Thanks, Jakub Wilk. (Closes: #661412) * Additional wording improvements to copyright-format 1.0 for clarity. Also mention that the Files pattern syntax is the same as fnmatch(3) and GNU find -path without [] patterns. Thanks, Jonathan Nieder and Ben Finney. * Suggest checkbashisms from devscripts or the posh shell for checking whether /bin/sh scripts are Policy-compliant rather than recommending dash. Thanks, Raphael Geissert. (Closes: #490604) * Remove the ambiguous word "installed" when requiring that the location of files and directories follow the FHS. (Closes: #638060) * Clarify the syntax of field names to make it clear that they may not contain spaces. Thanks, Charles Plessy. (Closes: #647645) * Clarify that only one of build-arch or build-indep may be provided (currently, at least) and that build should depend on whichever exist or perform the equivalent actions. Thanks to Jonathan Nieder for some of the wording. (Closes: #601839) * Clearly state that "yes" is the only valid value of DM-Upload-Allowed and rewrite its description to be less indirect. (Closes: #622263) * Update the dpkg-buildpackage -r documentation in the appendix to reflect the current behavior of using fakeroot. Wording from Sam Morris. (Closes: #658009) * Fix the legal notice in copyright-format to not refer to a nonexistent copyright notice. * Embed the Debian Policy version and build date in the debconf specification and the copyright-format document. We'll make non-normative changes without updating other version numbers, and it's good to know which version one is looking at. * Fix some whitespace issues in the debconf specification articleinfo. * Install the HTML version of upgrading-checklist in the policy.html directory as upgrading-checklist.html so that it can be deployed on www.debian.org in a way that will allow links to Policy sections to work easily. Thanks, Charles Plessy. (Partly addresses #639663) * Ship the copyright-format source as copyright-format.xml.tar.gz without a version, since it will include all of the versions, not just the current version. * Fix mistaken word choice (prefix instead of suffix) in the upgrading checklist entry for 3.9.3.0. * Add some missing entries to the virtual package names list changelog. * Expand package long description to include all documents. * Remove unused substitution variable generated by the build. Thanks, Charles Plessy. * Strip down and reformat debian/rules to remove unused variables, references to old files no longer included, use a more standard layout and standardize variable names, and add comments for better maintainability. * Convert debian/copyright to copyright-format 1.0, and in the process add the license information for the documents other than Policy itself and the FHS. Note the implication of the GPL source code requirement for distributing generated versions of the Policy documents. -- Russ Allbery <email address hidden> Sun, 04 Mar 2012 15:02:12 -0800
