Description:
developers-reference - Debian Developer's Reference
Changes:
developers-reference (2.6.0) frozen unstable; urgency=low
.
* would be nice to sneak this into slink; it's just documentation!
* Ch. "Porting and Being Ported": porter information broken out into it's
own chapter, Sec. "Guidelines for Porter Uploads" and "When to do a
source NMU if you are a porter" moved to this chapter; porter tool
descriptions such as 'quinn-diff' moved to this section. Sec. "Being
Kind to Porters" added, with tips for how to avoid making problems for
porters.
* Ch. "Non-Maintainer Uploads (NMUs)": update for the new chapter, and
tighten up the language a bit
* Sec. "Monitoring bugs": add a little cron job to get an 'index maint'
of outstanding bugs (closes Bug#31259), loosen language a tiny bit
w.r.t. non-maintainers or submitters closing bugs (closes Bug#30394)
* Sec. "Scope of This Document": point out that this file is not
official policy
* Ch. "Handling Bugs": renamed from "Handling Bug Reports", incorporate
some suggestions from James Troup, namely, don't mail from your root
account, don't close bugs via control@bugs.debian.org; break out new
sections, "Submitting Bugs" and "Responding to Bugs"
* Ch. "Overview of Debian Maintainer Tools": remove attribution for
package maintainers, since I can't keep up; add entries for fakeroot
and devscripts
* Ch. "Maintaining Your Debian Information": new chapter, quite small
right now; it mentions keyring-maint@debian.org for key modification,
warns against putting private keys on multi-user machines, and talks
about how to depart Debian gracefully
* typo correction from Christian Hudon (closes Bug#32052)
* menu file removed, obsoleted by doc-base file
* parameterize some often-changing values with SGML entities, update
number of available packages
* use new way of notating multiple copyrights
* change <tt> elements to <file> where appropriate
.
developers-reference (2.5.0.5) unstable; urgency=low
.
* add version.ent to docdir, needed to reconstruct from SGML
(closes Bug#31034)
.
developers-reference (2.5.0.4) unstable; urgency=low
.
* not officially released
* more spelling corrections
* s/ppc/powerpc/ (thanks, James Troup)
.
developers-reference (2.5.0.3) unstable; urgency=low
.
* not officially released
* Sec. "Removing a package from Incoming": tiny section added
* some PGP-centricity removed
* Sec. "Adopting a package": point out that hijacking packages is not ok
* Ch. "Non-Maintainer Uploads (NMUs) and Porters": change 'NMU' to
'source NMU', 'port' to 'binary NMU', shorten the window for porters a
tad; fix spelling; stress that non-maintainer patches must be
non-disruptive and that aesthetic issues are not suitable for fixing
by non-maintainers; other fixes as suggested by interested parties
.
developers-reference (2.5.0.2) frozen unstable; urgency=low
.
* not officially released
* maintainer name change (but it's still me)
* Ch. "Non-Maintainer Uploads (NMUs) and Porters": new chapter
discussing NMUs and porters; Section "Interim Releases" integrated out
of existance. New TOC for this section is:
* 6 Non-Maintainer Uploads (NMUs) and Porters
+ 6.1 Who can do a port or an NMU
+ 6.2 When to do a port or an NMU
o 6.2.1 When to do an NMU if you are a porter
+ 6.3 How to do an NMU
o 6.3.1 NMU version numbering
o 6.3.2 NMUs must create a changelog entry
o 6.3.3 NMUs must send patches, if any, to the BTS
o 6.3.4 Building the NMU
+ 6.4 Guidelines for Porters
.
* Sec. "Maintainer changes": renamed to "Adopting a package" and moved
to Chapter "Moving, Removing, Renaming, Adopting, and Orphaning
Packages".
* Sec. "Reporting lots of bugs at once": more forcefully deprecate this
practice
* Sec. "Adopting a package": mention that the BTS maintainer update can
take a couple of weeks
* Sec. "Overview of Debian Maintainer Tools": give credit where credit
is due and attribute current maintainers; add `apt'; add `quinn-diff';
add mention of as yet unreleased 'buildd' package, since I'm so
excited about it and can't wait
* Sec. "Removing packages": talk about how apt-cache can be used to look
at reverse depends, a good step to take prior to removing a package
from the archive
* show *full* TOC, including sect2
* of course the obligatory typo, grammar, and spelling corrections
.
* Makefile: small changes to accomodate DDP autobuild
* debian/dirs: obsolete, removed
* debian/rules: use changelog date for SGML timestamping, not current date
