Bug#831047: debian-policy: two Debian Policy versions were released, but not announced on d-devel-announce
Package: debian-policy
Severity: important
Hello and thanks for maintaining the Debian Policy manual.
I have just found out that two Debian Policy versions (3.9.7.0 and
3.9.8.0) were released without any announce on
debian-devel-announce@l.d.o !
At least, I wasn't able to find any announce on
debian-devel-announce@l.d.o since the announce [1] of version 3.9.6.0
[1] https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2014/09/msg00000.html
I found the announce [2] of version 3.9.7.0, but it was apparently
sent to debian-devel@l.d.o, rather than to debian-devel-announce@l.d.o !
[2] https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2016/02/msg00016.html
I cannot find any announce for version 3.9.8.0 !
Where can I read the corresponding upgrading checklist, by the way?
Lintian has recently started to complain about
out-of-date-standards-version 3.9.6, but I was not aware of the
release of version 3.9.8.0 ... :-(
The distro tracker seems to be still silent about outdated std-ver
3.9.6, though...
What's going on?
I assumed that keeping an eye on debian-devel-announce@l.d.o
would be enough to be informed about new Debian Policy versions...
Is there anything I misunderstood?
Could you please clarify?
Thanks for your time.
Bye.
