Hi,
There are three areas that need to be looked at before we can
release a new version of policy; and two of them are kinda important,
but we can punt on the third, is push comes to shove.
The first task is resolving all the bus marked as Packaging bugs
on
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?src=debian-policy&[EMAIL
PROTECTED]&ordering=policy
There are 4 non pending bugs:
* #402780: debian-policy HTML "next" loops
This is either not a bug, or can't be fixed in policy: should
forward to debiandoc
* #47438: [PROPOSAL] update policy copyright
This is too hard to resolve right now; and might be moot, if we
do a policy rewrite in modular docbook
* #175064: Debian policy documents should be UTF-8 encoded
Whoof. Well, we can make sure that the source files are in
UTF-8; and that we set ALNG=C in front of the debiandoc2X
invocations. but I am not sure that is enough. Punt to the
docbook rewrite?
* #203098: debian-policy: using <link rel="..."> would be nice
Again, this is a debiandoc conversion issue, and should be
either forwarded, or closed.
The second task is to ensure we incorporate all the changes
marked as accepted in the bug list; this has been done already.
The last bit is to look at the bugs with usertag wording; where
wording has been proposed; and to determine if the proposed wording is
acceptable and resolves the issue that was raised.
We are getting pretty close.
