From ff319e08e6e9ab0763c2ff4156c07f8d3e426a5a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Russ Allbery Date: Wed, 30 Apr 2008 13:58:49 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] Remove old metadata and file headers Remove old ChangeLog files. They haven't been updated and the VCS now records more and better history. Remove headers from debian/postinst.in, debian/prerm.in, and debian/rules as now redundant with the VCS metadata. --- ChangeLog | 217 --------------------------------------------- debian/ChangeLog | 7 -- debian/changelog | 2 + debian/postinst.in | 15 ---- debian/prerm.in | 14 --- debian/rules | 14 --- 6 files changed, 2 insertions(+), 267 deletions(-) delete mode 100644 ChangeLog delete mode 100644 debian/ChangeLog diff --git a/ChangeLog b/ChangeLog deleted file mode 100644 index 6efb98c..0000000 --- a/ChangeLog +++ /dev/null @@ -1,217 +0,0 @@ -2006-10-02 Manoj Srivastava - - * policy.sgml (Build-Depends): - srivasta@debian.org--etch/debian-policy--devel--3.7--patch-26 - Fix spelling error in "dependency" - -2006-06-20 Manoj Srivastava - - * policy.sgml: - srivasta@debian.org--etch/debian-policy--devel--3.7--patch-21 - Fix FSF email address - Text Documentation --> Plain text documentation, since - the meaning appeared unclear. - - * perl-policy.sgml: - srivasta@debian.org--etch/debian-policy--devel--3.7--patch-24 - Fix FSF email address - - * menu-policy.sgml: - srivasta@debian.org--etch/debian-policy--devel--3.7--patch-24 - Fix FSF email address - - * mime-policy.sgml: - srivasta@debian.org--etch/debian-policy--devel--3.7--patch-24 - Fix FSF email address - -2006-06-19 Manoj Srivastava - - * upgrading-checklist.html (issue): - srivasta@debian.org--etch/debian-policy--devel--3.7--patch-20 - Typo fixes. - - * policy.sgml (INSTALL_DIR): - srivasta@debian.org--etch/debian-policy--devel--3.7--patch-20 - 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. - -2006-05-03 Manoj Srivastava - - * policy.sgml (INSTALL_DIR): - srivasta@debian.org--etch/debian-policy--devel--3.7--patch-17 - Clarified when it may be reasonable to violate the - standard directive that shared libraries must be - compiled with -fPIC, and static libraries without, - added the protocol to be followed when doing so. - -2006-04-26 Manoj Srivastava - - * policy.sgml: - srivasta@debian.org--etch/debian-policy--devel--3.7--patch-14 - Added an informative footnote to document the fact that - while dpkg does handle changes to file - ownership/permissions on upgrade, ownership or - permissions on directories already on the system are not - modified. - (Version): Disambiguate the overloaded use of section for main, - contrib, non-free as well as for admin, lib,devel, - etc. Various fixes based on a 1999 nit picking message - from Joey Hess - -2006-04-25 Manoj Srivastava - - * policy-process.sgml: - srivasta@debian.org--etch/debian-policy--devel--3.6--patch-16 - Minor typo fix - - * upgrading-checklist.html (issue): - srivasta@debian.org--etch/debian-policy--devel--3.6--patch-15 - 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.
