Dear all, Here is one simple solution: - In the debian-policy package, copyright-format/copyright-format.xml is the working document, which contains a disclaimer and a reference to the stable version on www.debian.org. - Published versions are stored in the debian-policy in copyright-format/published/, as XML source and HTML and text documents, without makefile as they are final versions, under names like copyright-format/published/copyright-format-1.0.html. - The ‘7doc’ cron job on www.debian.org installs a hard-coded list of copyright-format versions, on URIs like ‘http://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/copyright-format-1.0.html’ Depending how often the spec is updated (hopefully not often), the file listing in http://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/ will grow, but if it really becomes a problem, the directory could get a proper WML index. - Thanks to content negociation on www.debian.org, the current URI for the spec would be http://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/copyright-format-1.0 Just let me know if you would like patches.
