Quoting Kentaro Hayashi (2021-10-02 14:19:17) > I want to know about the best practice of +dfsg and +ds extension. > As far as I know, it is not well documented as a policy or devref. When upstream codebase in its pristine form would violate the Debian Free Software Guidelines (DFSG), I would use the hint "dfsg"- When upstream codebase require repackaging for (only) other reasons than DFSG compliance I instead use the hint "ds" (as in "derived source"). I use ~ (tilde) as delimiter when possible, to make room for an eventual later release with the issues fixed, without needing ugly versioning or being forced to wait for a later upstream release. I use + (plus) as delimiter when I cannot use ~ (tilde). Since you tried mentioned some statistics: It is indeed more popular to favor + over ~ but "popular practice" does not equal "best practice". - Jonas -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist & Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ [x] quote me freely [ ] ask before reusing [ ] keep private
