  Description     : The Debian FAQ

 In this package you will find the Debian GNU/Linux FAQ, which gives
 frequently asked questions (with their answers!) about the Debian
 distribution Debian GNU/Linux and others) and about the Debian project.
 You'll find out that some answers assume some knowledge of Unix-like
 operating systems.  We'll try to assume as little prior knowledge as
 possible: answers to general beginners questions will be kept simple.
 .
 This document is available at http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/debian-faq/
 as well as from the Debian ftp server at ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/doc/FAQ
 and mirrors thereof.
 .
 The document is supplied in HTML, PDF, PostScript and plain ascii.
 .
 If you're new to Debian, and like to read documentation from your local
 system, without using the network, install this package.


Hi,

Up to 3.1.5, the Debian GNU/Linux FAQ was shipped with the doc-debian
package.  After some discussion on debian-doc list (
http://lists.debian.org/debian-doc/2008/03/threads.html#00065 ), work
started on splitting the Debian GNU/Linux FAQ from doc-debian, and
shipping it in a package of its own.  The debian-faq source package will
create a debian-faq binary package, holding the FAQ in English, as well
as debian-faq-de, debian-faq-fr, debian-faq-it, and debian-faq-zh-cn,
holding translations previously not shipped in packages.

Current maintainer of the FAQ is Javier Fernández-Sanguino Peña.

Bye,

Joost

Changes: 
 debian-faq (4.0) unstable; urgency=low
 .
   * The Debian FAQ is now maintained using SVN (no longer using CVS.)
   [ Changes by Joost van Baal ]
   * The Debian FAQ's debian/ packaging stuff is now maintained using a
     revision control system: SVN on Alioth.
     - debian/control:  Add Vcs-* headers.
   * This package no longer is called doc-debian, but debian-faq; it contains
     the Debian GNU/Linux FAQ only.  See doc-debian's debian/changelog for
     the history of the Debian GNU/Linux FAQ. (Closes: #473998)
     - debian/rules: remove stuff referring to constitution or social-contract.
     - debian/{prerm,postinst}: remove stuff referring to reporting-bugs,
       manifesto, mailing-lists or social-contract.
     - debian/control: package is now called debian-faq, not doc-debian.  Rewrote
       package description.  Add Conflicts: doc-debian <= 3.1.5.
     - debian/copyright: remove license conditions of non-FAQ documents.
   * debian/control: add Homepage header.
   * debian/control: add myself to Uploaders, after ack from jfs.
   * debian/rules: faq no longer is in FAQ/, but in .: adjust build rules.
   * debian/doc-base: imported from doc-debian-3.1.5/doc-base/debian-faq.
     updated list of authors.
   * debian/control: Bump Standards-Version from 3.6.2.0 to 3.7.3 (no changes
     needed.)
   * Create new binary Debian packages debian-faq-de, debian-faq-fr,
     debian-faq-it, debian-faq-zh-cn for translations which are somewhat up to
     date and not yet available as Debian packages.  Use debhelper's dh_install
     to deal with these multiple packages: we now build-depend upon debhelper.
     When at it, use dh_installdeb, dh_gencontrol, dh_md5sums and dh_builddeb
     too.
     - debian/{rules,control}: install de, fr, it and zh_CN translations too.
     - debian/compat: enforce debhelper compatibility level 5.
     - debian/rules: build needed languages (de, fr, it and zh_CN) only.
     - debian/debian-faq-{de,fr,it,zh-cn}.{dirs,install}: add debhelper files
       for building extra binary packages.
     - debian/rules: use debhelper's dh_installchangelog, dh_installdocs and
       dh_compress to handle debian/{copyright,changelog} and doc-base stuff.
       add needed dh_clean calls.
     - debian/rules: replace handcrafted chmod/chown call with dh_fixperms.
     - debian/debian-faq*.doc-base, debian/debian-faq*.{prerm,postrm}: add
       doc-base registrations for all packages, let debhelper deal with them.
   * Update the content of the FAQ files to their latest SVN
     versions, from svn.debian.org ddp/manuals/trunk/debian-faq:

         * pkgtools.sgml: update comment
         * pkg_basics.sgml: the X Window System no long is called X11, but

           Skype); mention ndiswrapper; mention Google Earth (or is that not
           suitable for this faq?)

           that djb is placing his software into the public domain.

         * getting.sgml: remove broken link
         * getting.sgml: http://cdimage.debian.org/ is now just a redirect

           are there CD images available somewhere?" duplicates "Where/how can
           I get the Debian installation disks?".  Removed it.
         * getting.sgml: we do DVDs too, not just CDs
         * getting.sgml: Given the current size of Debian, installing from
           floppy is next to impossible. Therefore, remove section "Can I
           install it from a pile of floppy disks?"
         * getting.sgml: http://www.debian.org/CD is more up to date on
           getting CD images than this faq: add referral
         * pkg_basics.sgml: Mention wrapper tools for building .deb from
           source package. Thanks Tim Richardson for his suggestion in
           <1203086175.11942.24.camel@d420>.
         * ftparchives.sgml: move question about low-level implementation
           details to end of chapter
         * uptodate.sgml: dselect built in access methods (like dpkg-ftp)
           are obsolete: remove section
         * software.sgml: non-us is obsolete since sarge: remove section
         * getting.sgml: dselect's build-in access methods are obsolete. Do
           not talk about low level cd image details like Rock Ridge
           extensions: that's not suitable for newbies.
         * pkgtools.sgml: fix bug in description of "apt-get dist-upgrade".
           explain difference with "apt-get upgrade"
      - changes by joostvb, 2007-09-21
         * pkg_basics.sgml: Files containing Debian packages typically have
           a component representing the Debian architecture in their name.
           Thanks Justin Pryzby. (Closes: #443472)
      - changes by joostvb, 2007-07-11
         * basic_defs.sgml: Michael K. Johnson's INFO-SHEET and META-FAQ have
           been unmaintained for a very long time. Refer to Linux Online instead.
         * basic_defs.sgml: We don't release every several months, but at
           about every 2 years (checked potato - woody - sarge - etch ( - lenny)
           release dates).  FTP archives are update twice, not once a day.
         * basic_defs.sgml: when asked what debian is, first tell about the
           nice things. explain the boring stuff like what a distribution is
           later: swapped 2 sections
         * support.sgml: remove notes about sections of manpages: too much
           techical detail for intented audience. give example "man ls"
           instead and refer to man(1)
         * support.sgml: mention yelp too, as an alternative for dwww,
           doc-central e.a.
