A draft version of the policy package which I intend to upload as 3.1.0.0 soon is now available:
http://www.debian.org/~jdg/debian-policy_3.1.0pre1.tar.gz http://www.debian.org/~jdg/debian-policy_3.1.0pre1_all.deb http://www.debian.org/~jdg/packaging-manual_3.1.0pre1_all.deb The changelog follows. The remaining things to do are: - fix the <url> tag problems (something to do with a bug in debiandoc) - finalise the liblockfile stuff - include the stuff on -g if a wording was ever agreed upon I don't think there are any others at this stage, but please correct me if I am wrong. I'd appreciate someone to check through the policy and packaging manuals to see that they look OK.
