Isn't `distribution' a debian jargon for these suites? For example http://www.debian.org/releases lists three `distributions' and policy 5.6.14 describes how to fill the Distribution field. >> * link to http://dsa.debian.org/doc/install-req/ and explain why people >> might want to install packages in a chroot > > erm. what's there to explain. [Just my guess because I never request to install packages in a chroot. I'm too wondering why people might want to] Because it's not obvious how one can use porterboxes to port packages. Installing build-deps is the preliminary work before porting. Cheers, Kanru -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-policy-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
