Debian Release Notes
This document contains information on what's new in the current Debian
GNU/Linux distribution and complete upgrading information for users of
older Debian releases.
Authors: Adam Di Carlo, Bob Hilliard, Josip Rodin, Anne Bezemer
Maintainer: Rob Bradford
Status: Active work being done for Debian releases. Help is needed to
complete the `Split packages' section. Contact
debian-doc@lists.debian.org for more information.
Problems and patches should be reported as bugs against the
release-notes pseudo-package.
Availability:
- <<Released version>>
- Also available at ftp.debian.org:/debian/dists/stable/main/upgrade-*/
- <<Version being prepared for the next stable (in testing)>>
- Use <<CVS>> to download the SGML source text for <<release-notes>>.
</snip>
I'd like to propose the following changes:
- Authors: add everybody listed as such in current version; I don't
feel it's necessary to indicate 'current' here.
- Maintainer: remove; as this is not a package it does not really have a
single maintainer but more a teal of editors (listed in Authors).
- Status: Rewrite first sentence to "Actively maintained for Debian
releases"; remove the bit about "Split packages".
- Availability: remove the reference to ftp.d.o as we don't seem to
publish the RN there anymore (and personally I don't see any added
value in restoring that).
Comments?
Cheers,
FJP
