Hello everyone, I have just pushed Debian Policy 4.1.5.0 to sid. Thank you to those who participated in the preparing of this release; there were many. Looking forward to seeing many of you as participants in the Debian Policy sprint at DebCamp18 a few weeks from now! Here are the most significant changes from the previously announced version of Policy (4.1.4): 4.9.2 Document how ``debian/rules`` and the ``Rules-Requires-Root`` field interact. 5.6.12 You should not change a package's epoch, even in experimental, without getting consensus on debian-devel first. 5.6.12.1 Epochs should not be used for the purpose of rolling back the version of a package. Use the +really convention. 5.6.31 Document the ``Rules-Requires-Root`` field. 9.1.1 Update Debian's version of the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard from 2.3 to 3.0, and update the list of exceptions. Only a tiny minority of packages, if any, should be made buggy by this change. 9.3.2 & 10.4 Update version of POSIX standard for shell scripts from SUSv3 to POSIX.1-2017 (also known as SUSv4 in some contexts). -- Sean Whitton
