Package: debian-policy Severity: wishlist Dear all,
as discussed on [email protected], it may be useful to clarify that trailing slashes in directory names in Files fields are invalid. Only a few copyright files were using trailing slashes at the beginning of this month. (See http://lists.debian.org/[email protected]) The clarification could be the addition of a sentence in the paragraph mentionning fnmatch(3), for instance the following. This syntax does not distinguish file names from directory names; trailing slashes after directory names are invalid. In any case, I think that such a change can wait for the next revision of the format. Have a nice week-end, -- Charles -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
