Source: developers-reference
Binary: developers-reference
Architecture: source all
Version: 2.5.0
Distribution: frozen unstable
Urgency: low
Maintainer: Adam P. Harris <aph@debian.org>
Description:
developers-reference - Debian Developer's Reference
Changes:
developers-reference (2.5.0) frozen unstable; urgency=low
.
* move to 3-level version number:
top-level version number probably won't change for a whil, it is the
"major", the second-level number means significant content changes,
and the third-level change means corrections and minor improvements.
Since this version has significant content changes, we are now 2.5.0.
Since I'm going to put porter instructions in the next major rev, that
will be 2.6.0...
.
* use new <package> tag where appropriate (Ardo, you rock)
* replace 'm86k' with 'm68k'
* rename 'Whirlwind Tour of ...' section to 'Overview of ...' (suggested
by James Troup)
* typos and "red-pen" corrections, fix cosmetic problems in PostScript
version
* remove the one case I use an URL fragment identifier, since
debiandoc-sgml doesn't like it (bug filed against debiandoc-sgml)
* debian/rules: cosmetic cleanups, loosen check for root
* debian/rules: build PostScript version during build, since it's nice
to have all my debiandoc2* scripts together
* debian/control: policy compliant to 2.5.0
.
* advise against uploading when a package has lintian problems of
severity 'E'
* "Mailing Lists and Servers":
- "The master server": mention how master is the home of the BTS;
mention how users need to take care with their accounts on master
- "The WWW servers": fill in www.debian.org, first pass, and discuss
how to put up your own web pages on va or master
- "The CVS server": new section added
- "Mirrors of Debian servers": new section added; point to info about
how to mirror
* "Applying to Become a Maintainer": do not advise resending initial
application; instead, simply mail a followup asking new maintainers
whether they go the initial application (closes Bug #28739); mention
that calls usually come in the evening; mention that if you use PGP
v5, you need to generate an RSA key (right?); clarify our intentions
with respect to GPG.
* "Release code names": Debian 2.2 is 'potato'
* "Distribution directories": give concrete examples, hopefully making
it clearer where to look in Debian archives for specific stuff;
mention that old distributions are moved to archive servers (is there
a canonical location?)
* "The override file": new section, added under "Notification that a new
package has been installed"; fill it out quite a bit
* "Uploading to *": reiterate thrice not to upload export
controlled-software to master, or the European queues on erlangen and
chiark
* "Picking a distribution": section broken out from "Generating the
changes file"
* "Uploading to frozen": new section, almost straight from Brian White
(hope you don't mind!) -- isn't that topical?
* "Interim releases": if you NMU a new upstream version (0.1), run
'dpkg-buildpackage -sa'
