- typo fix: s/s/a/
- Add "is"
- Clarify the fact that most fields can have multi line
- values in control files, apart from the Uploaders field.
- Since the packaging system can handle multi line fields
- anyway, it does not make sense to prohibit them in
- policy.
- Mention the need to have a copyright file in the source
- package section as well.

- Document the fact that cgi executable location is
- changing, and that web servers need to provide script
- aliases.
- (issue):
- srivasta@debian.org--etch/debian-policy--devel--3.6--patch-15
- mentioned the change to FHS 2.3
- (issue):
- srivasta@debian.org--etch/debian-policy--devel--3.6--patch-15
- When scripts are installed into into a directory in the
- system PATH, the script name should not include
- aextension that denotes the scripting language currently
- used to implement it.
-
- * policy.sgml (http):
- srivasta@debian.org--etch/debian-policy--devel--3.6--patch-15
- [PENDING AMENDMENT 20/01/2000] Splitting cgi-bin. Since
- most web servers do include this, it seems like it is
- about time.
- (Version):
- srivasta@debian.org--etch/debian-policy--devel--3.6--patch-15
- Changed the default version we refer to in
- policy to version 2.3, and added in specific
- exceptions t the new version of the FHS.
- (Package):
- srivasta@debian.org--etch/debian-policy--devel--3.6--patch-15
- Mention that all fileds, except the Uploaders, are
- supposed to be a single logical line, which may be
- spread over multiple physical lines (newline followed by
- space is elided). Also mention that anything parsing
- the control file must allow for a multi-line uploaders
- field.
- (INSTALL_DIR):
- srivasta@debian.org--etch/debian-policy--devel--3.6--patch-15
- When scripts are installed into into a directory in the
- system PATH, the script name should not include an
- extensionthat denotes the scripting language currently
- used to implement it.
- No longer specify the full list of common license
- files,since the list gets out dated with newer
- versions of license files.
- Punt to dpkg-architecture to providing legal
- architecture strings, since that's what is used
- by everyone anyway. The version in policy was
- wrong, but that s=does not seem to have
- hindered anyone, which indicates that this
- policy directive was uneeded. Now the
- dpkg-architecture list is deemed authoritative,
- which it is, and the format is in an
- informative foot note.
- Make use of invoke-rc.d mandatory when calling initscripts.
- Changed various X related paths to reflect the move over
- to Xorg, and away from /usr/X11R6.

- * perl-policy.sgml:

- Typo fix (as -> at)
-
- * policy.sgml:
- srivasta@debian.org--etch/debian-policy--devel--3.6--patch-6
- Policy does not describe the current tasksel/tasks
- situation very well. After correctiong the errors, and
- eliminating obsolete paragraphs, therewas nothing that a
- general maintainer needs to do about tasksel task
- selection, it makes no sense to have this section in
- policy. removed.
- One of the examples listed in B.1 is not correct and
- does not work. Three problems. One is that 'xof' does
- not write to stdout, 'xOf' does. Another is
- that filenames in debs start with "./" and so
- the listed file will not be matched. Third is
- that f needs a filename and "-" is usually the
- tradition, but hyphen problems with fonts
- probably caused it to be dropped. That last
- probably needs a special crosscheck to make sure
- it makes it through the formatting.
- (INSTALL):
- srivasta@debian.org--etch/debian-policy--devel--3.6--patch-6
- typo fix.
- Fixed up the description, and summary, of the maintainer
- scripts call sequence.
- remove obsolete footnote statements about UTF-8
- Erase mention of obsolete non-US section
- (Package):
- srivasta@debian.org--etch/debian-policy--devel--3.6--patch-6
- The format field of .dsc is now mandatory

- Document the fact that HTTP servers are recommended to
- provide an /image alias for packages to share images
- with the server.
-
- * policy.sgml (http):
- srivasta@debian.org--etch/debian-policy--devel--3.6--base-0
- The proposal states that /usr/share/images/<package> and
- can be referred to as
- http://localhost/images/<package>/<filename. This allows
- a simple solution to making images in packages
- accessible to the HTTP server without having to resort
- to symbolic links.
-
- Various spelling errors were also corrected in a spell
- check run.
-
- Provide the URL for the down-loadable version of policy
- documents in various formats, instead of just providing
- a link.
