Re: Virtual packages list
Hi,
I am going to change the update instructions for the virtual
package list so (this removes Christian's name from the list):
The procedure for updating the list is as follows:
1. Post to debian-devel saying what names you intend to use or what
other changes you wish to make, and file a wish list bug against the
package debian-policy.
2. Wait a few days for comment (some of the comments may be on the
debian-policy list, if you are not subscribed, ask for mail to be CC'd
to you.
3. Mail the maintainer of the virtual package name list (which is the
Debian Policy list <debian-policy@lists.debian.org>) notifying them
of the consensus reached (or your suggestions if noone objected).
Please update the bug report at the same time (possibly retitling the
bug to [ACCEPTED] ....
Please include a proposed brief description of the new virtual name(s)
for the list. The list maintainer will then post the new list to
debian-devel and upload it to the FTP site.
4. Go and use the new or changed names.
