This is the version in dpkg 1.4.0 (in dpkg-dev). debian-manuals (2.1.1.0) unstable;
* Hard links are forbidden in source packages (they didn't work anyway, and can't easily be made to work reliably). * Do not use dpkg-divert or update-alternatives without consultation. * Do not need to declare dependencies on Essential packages. * Restrictions on Pre-Depends stated in policy manual. * debian/substvars file is now almost always auto-generated. * Shared libraries must be installed stripped. * Essential and Pre-Depends put together in policy manual. * Explained component-wise (file-wise) vs. package-wise dependencies. -- Ian Jackson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Thu, 12 Sep 1996 01:00:41 +0100
