Bug#558430: debian-policy: 5.6.21. `Files' contains typo regarding orig.tar.gz original source tarball
Package: debian-policy
Version: 3.8.3.0
Severity: minor
Tags: patch
Hi
5.6.21 `Files' reads the following:
If a new Debian revision of a package is being shipped and no new
original source archive is being distributed the `.dsc' must still
contain the `Files' field entry for the original source archive
`<package>-<upstream-version>.orig.tar.gz', but the `.changes' file
should leave it out. In this case the original source archive on the
distribution site must match exactly, byte-for-byte, the original
source archive which was used to generate the `.dsc' file and diff
which are being uploaded.
where there it should read `<package>_<upstream-version>.orig.tar.gz'.
