Since we've invalidated old patches with the DocBook conversion, I've gone through all the old branches in the Policy Git repository and gotten rid of most of them.
I refreshed three of mine (and sent updated patches to the relevant bugs) that still seemed to be current and fairly uncontroversial -- basically, the things I could easily update without a lot of reading. For the rest that weren't merged, we can recreate any patches as needed from the bug discussion. Frequently there were lots of objections and substantial work required anyway. Bill, I also deleted your branches that were already merged. Left are bug218893-bill (Build-Features, which I wasn't sure was fully reflected in the thread) and bug779506-bill (for virtual packages, so it would still apply). -- Russ Allbery (r...@debian.org) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/>
