Package: debian-policy Version: 3.9.2.0 Severity: normal Currently, §7.1 refers to the archtecture restriction syntax and architecture wildards without defining what the syntax for these restrictions is. The syntax for these clauses is defined in §11.1 (§11.1.1 in particular) but is not linked to from §7.1. It is also perhaps somewhat odd that the syntax for architecture restrictions lives in §11 at all, given the rest of the relationship definitions is in §7 and the control file syntax definition is in §5. cheers Stuart

control: user debian-policy@packages.debian.org control: usertag -1 +obsolete control: tag -1 +wontfix Russ Allbery and I did a round of in-person bug triage at DebConf17 and we are closing this bug as inactive. The reasons for closing fall into the following categories, from most frequent to least frequent: - issue is appropriate for Policy, there is a consensus on how to fix the problem, but preparing the patch is very time-consuming and no-one has volunteered to do it, and we do not judge the issue to be important enough to keep an open bug around; - issue is appropriate for Policy but there does not yet exist a consensus on what should change, and no recent discussion. A fresh discussion might allow us to reach consensus, and the messages in the old bug are unlikely to help very much; or - issue is not appropriate for Policy. If you feel this bug is still relevant and want to restart the discussion, you can re-open the bug. However, please consider instead opening a new bug with a message that summarises and condenses the previous discussion, updates the report for the current state of Debian, and makes clear exactly what you think should change. A lot of these old bugs have long side tangents and numerous messages, and that old discussion is not necessarily helpful for figuring out what Debian Policy should say today. -- Sean WhittonAttachment: signature.asc
