--- Begin Message ---Package: debian-policy It seems that a lot of packages do not use something like autoreconf during build, and every time someone starts a new port he has to patches way too many packages to get config.guess and config.sub updated. I would like that we say that at least config.guess and config.sub must be updated during the build process and that things like configure should be regenerated during the build process. Kurt

Many thanks to Osamu Aoki and Guillem Jover for lots of hard work on the conversion. This was a huge conversion, so there will probably be some lingering formatting issues, incorrect markup, and less-than-ideal output. Please report any problems as bugs. (Closes: #175064, #700532, #809382) * Additional fixes from Guillem Jover as part of the DocBook conversion: - Stop distributing the source SGML files as part of the installed package. There doesn't seem to be any point in doing this. - Switch to xsltproc and dblatex instead of OpenJade. - Stop using tidy on the generated files since it generates larger files and the output from xsltproc is already compliant and fairly clean. - Remove unused Build-Depends. - Use entities instead of literal <, >, and & characters. - Use <var> instead of escaped angle brackets for metavariables. - Use <var> instead of <em> inside <tt>. - Avoid slashes in section IDs. - Convert a comment about maintenance policy in the Menu Policy document to a regular paragraph in the document. - Replace a comment reference to the policy maintenance process with an actual link to Process.md. - Remove obsolete SGML comments. * Move the description of < and > relations to a footnote to make abundantly clear that they're no longer valid relation operators in dependencies. (Closes: #816515) * Clarify informative mentions of debian/tmp in the appendices to document the now-common use of debian/<pkg> instead as the temporary staging area. Document that convention, instead of debian/tmp-something, for multi-binary packages. Thanks, Niels Thykier. (Closes: #816249) * Remove lingering wording that implied that build-arch and build-indep targets are optional. Thanks, Ferenc Wagner, Jakub Wilk, and Charles Plessy. (Closes: #793999) * Rather than giving the paths to the installed shlibs and symbols files and then saying those paths shouldn't be used, just say to use dpkg-query --control-show. Recommend --control-show instead of --control-path, since the latter is deprecated. Patch from Salvatore Bonaccorso. (Closes: #688220) * Explicitly give Unicode code points in the definition of the syntax of Debian control files and, where appropriate, show the character. Patch from Ben Finney. (Closes: #821365) * Remove obsolete footnote about a versioned dependency on a liblockfile1 release from 1999. Thanks, Jakub Wilk. (Closes: #794902) * Fix the long name of the Common Public License in the copyright-format policy. It is just Common Public License, with no leading "IBM". Thanks, Stefano Zacchiroli. (Closes: #781654) * Fix the copyright-format examples to not have duplicate License paragraphs. Thanks, Stefan <b...@bc-bd.org>. (Closes: #824922) * Replace reference to dbus-launch in the autopkgtest documentation with dbus-run-session. Patch from Simon McVittie. (Closes: #835876) * Add an example of an architecture restriction in a dependency with multiple architectures separated by spaces. (Closes: #734662) * Replace use of markdown with MultiMarkdown for the autopkgtest documentation and convert README and Process to MultiMarkdown, thus dropping the last org-mode files and the build dependency on Emacs. Patch from Guillem Jover. (Closes: #849483) * Add some additional information to the upgrading-checklist entry for the 3.9.8.0 release. * Fix debian/changelog and upgrading-checklist dates for the 3.9.8.0 release to match the actual upload. (Closes: #822059) * Fix duplicated "the" words in 4.4 and 8.6.3.2. Patch from Valentin Samir. (Closes: #830989) * Clean up the upgrading checklist a bit: - Rewrite the introduction to read a bit more smoothly and mention that the Standards-Version value omits the minor patch number. - Remove the minor patch number from all the version headings except for the anomalies that contain normative changes, and note those explicitly. - Remove some unhelpful section headings and trailing colons in very old upgrading checklist entries. - Standardize the release date format. * Compress all files with gzip -n to avoid embedding timestamps, enabling reproducible builds. * Redo some of the Makefile and debian/rules dependencies to avoid ambiguous pattern rules and to ensure that make at the top level rebuilds output files if input files change. * Switch to https URLs for Vcs-Git and Vcs-Browser. * Use the same URL for both Vcs-Git and Vcs-Browser, which now works fine and has some advantages over the gitweb version for Vcs-Browser. Thanks, Mattia Rizzolo. * Run wrap-and-sort -ast. * Tag as Multi-Arch: foreign (mostly to silence the hinter). . [ Sean Whitton ] * Remove references to DebianDoc-SGML from README.md. * Fix typo & comma splice in Process.md.
