/usr/doc/*/changelog required ?

1998-09-23 Thread Gregor Hoffleit
A question regarding the /usr/doc policy: Python builds several packages from a single source. Until now, I kept all documentation in /usr/doc/python. The package's doc directories had only the copyright file (as requested by the policy) and a README.Debian that pointed the user to /usr/doc/pytho

Version numbers with parallel frozen and unstable releases

1998-06-04 Thread Gregor Hoffleit

/usr/lib/perl5 -> /usr/share/perl5 ?

1998-02-19 Thread Gregor Hoffleit
perl5 installs its modules that are AFAIK architecture-independent into /usr/lib/perl5. Shouldn't this be /usr/share/perl5 according to FSSTND? I'm asking since the same kind of situation is with python. Gregor

1997-12-29 Thread Gregor Hoffleit
the policy could enforce the use of upstream source archives whereever this is possible, maybe an explicit note in the developer docs would help, too. Is it allowed to file bugs against packages that without need use non-upstream orig archives ? Gregor --- | Gregor Hoffleit admi
