Package: debian-policy Version: 3.6.2.1 Severity: minor Hi, 8.6.4 is slightly confusing: in 8.6, it says "when a package is built which contains any shared libraries, it must provide a `shlibs' file for other packages to use". The 'must' should be repeated in 8.6.4, now it only says "If your package provides a shared library, you should create a `shlibs' file following the format described above." While this is technically speaking correct, it could mistakenly be read as "you should/can provide a `shlibs' file". I suggest to change this to: If your package provides a shared library, you must provide a `shlibs' file following the format described above. <new paragraph> It is usual to call this file `debian/shlibs' [...] An alternative way of doing this is to create the `shlibs' file in the control area directly from `debian/rules' [...] Christoph -- cb@df7cb.de | http://www.df7cb.de/
