Changes:
debian-policy (3.9.3.1) unstable; urgency=low
.
* Fix cross-reference to control field syntax in Policy 5.4 (source
package control files). Thanks, Jakub Wilk. (Closes: #661412)
* Additional wording improvements to copyright-format 1.0 for clarity.
Also mention that the Files pattern syntax is the same as fnmatch(3)
and GNU find -path without [] patterns. Thanks, Jonathan Nieder and
Ben Finney.
* Suggest checkbashisms from devscripts or the posh shell for checking
whether /bin/sh scripts are Policy-compliant rather than recommending
dash. Thanks, Raphael Geissert. (Closes: #490604)
* Remove the ambiguous word "installed" when requiring that the location
of files and directories follow the FHS. (Closes: #638060)
* Clarify the syntax of field names to make it clear that they may not
contain spaces. Thanks, Charles Plessy. (Closes: #647645)
* Clarify that only one of build-arch or build-indep may be provided
(currently, at least) and that build should depend on whichever exist
or perform the equivalent actions. Thanks to Jonathan Nieder for some
of the wording. (Closes: #601839)
* Clearly state that "yes" is the only valid value of DM-Upload-Allowed
and rewrite its description to be less indirect. (Closes: #622263)
* Update the dpkg-buildpackage -r documentation in the appendix to
reflect the current behavior of using fakeroot. Wording from Sam
Morris. (Closes: #658009)
* Fix the legal notice in copyright-format to not refer to a nonexistent
copyright notice.
* Embed the Debian Policy version and build date in the debconf
specification and the copyright-format document. We'll make
non-normative changes without updating other version numbers, and it's
good to know which version one is looking at.
* Fix some whitespace issues in the debconf specification articleinfo.
* Install the HTML version of upgrading-checklist in the policy.html
directory as upgrading-checklist.html so that it can be deployed on
www.debian.org in a way that will allow links to Policy sections to
work easily. Thanks, Charles Plessy. (Partly addresses #639663)
* Ship the copyright-format source as copyright-format.xml.tar.gz
without a version, since it will include all of the versions, not just
the current version.
* Fix mistaken word choice (prefix instead of suffix) in the upgrading
checklist entry for 3.9.3.0.
* Add some missing entries to the virtual package names list changelog.
* Expand package long description to include all documents.
* Remove unused substitution variable generated by the build. Thanks,
Charles Plessy.
* Strip down and reformat debian/rules to remove unused variables,
references to old files no longer included, use a more standard
layout and standardize variable names, and add comments for better
maintainability.
* Convert debian/copyright to copyright-format 1.0, and in the process
add the license information for the documents other than Policy itself
and the FHS. Note the implication of the GPL source code requirement
for distributing generated versions of the Policy documents.
