Changes:
debian-policy (2.4.0.0) unstable; urgency=low
.
* Changes to the Debian Policy Manual:
.
- Updated section 3.3.4 Scripts:
+ /bin/sh may be any POSIX compatible shell
+ scripts including bashisms have to specify /bin/bash as
interpreter
+ scripts which create files in world-writable directories
(e.g., in /tmp) should use tempfile or mktemp for creating
the directory
.
- Updated section 3.3.5 Symbolic Links:
+ symbolic links referencing compressed files must have the same
file extension as the referenced file
.
- Updated section 3.3.6 Device files:
+ /dev/tty* serial devices should be used instead of /dev/cu*
.
- Updated section 3.4.2 Writing the scripts [in /etc/init.d]:
+ all /etc/init.d scripts have to provide the following options:
start, stop, restart, force-reload
+ the reload option is optional and must never stop and restart
the service
.
- Updated section 3.5 Cron jobs:
+ cron jobs that need to be executed more often than daily should
be installed into /etc/cron.d
.
- Updated section 3.7 Menus:
+ removed section about how to register HTML docs to `menu'
(the corresponding section in 4.4, Web servers and applications,
has been removed in policy 2.2.0.0 already, so this one was
obsolete)
.
- New section 3.8 Keyboard configuration:
+ details about how the backspace and delete keys should be
handled
.
- New section 3.9 Environment variables:
+ no program must depend on environment variables to get a
reasonable default configuration
.
- New section 4.6 News system configuration:
+ /etc/news/organization and /etc/news/server should be supported
by all news servers and clients
.
- Updated section 4.7 Programs for the X Windows system:
+ programs requiring a non-free Motif library should be provided
as foo-smotif and foo-dmotif package
+ if lesstif works reliably for such program, it should be linked
against lesstif and not against a non-free Motif library
.
- Updated section 4.9 Games:
+ games for X Windows have to be installed in /usr/games, just as
non-X games
.
- Lots of typos fixed (thanks to Ray Dassen for the patch!)
.
* Changes to the authoritative list of virtual package names:
- added `libc-dev' and `emacsen'
.
* Merged `/usr/doc/debian-policy/changelog-policy.gz' into this
changelog file
.
* Included `Policy checklist for upgrading your packages' from the
Policy Home Page as /usr/doc/debian-policy/upgrading-checklist.text.gz
.
* Added support for doc-base to register the Policy Manual to the
online documentation systems dwww and dhelp (fixes:#15710)
.
* Upgraded to standards version 2.4.0.0 (no changes)
