Bug#481954: debian-policy: C.1.4, C.1.8: minor typos
Package: debian-policy
Version: 3.7.3.0
Severity: wishlist
Hello,
in §C.1.4 I can read:
Its arguments are executables. [1] for which shared library
dependencies should be included in the binary package's control file.
I think the period is wrong, maybe something like:
Its arguments are executables[1], for which shared library
dependencies should be included in the binary package's control file.
Later on, we can see
dpkg-shlibdeps -dDepends <program anotherprogram ...> \
-dRecommends <optionalpart anotheroptionalpart>
and then in its main control file `debian/control':
<...>
Depends: ${shlibs:Pre-Depends}
Recommends: ${shlibs:Recommends}
<...>
but I think the Depends line should be "Depends: ${shlibs:Depends}" ("Pre-" removed).
In §C.1.8, I can read:
This program can be used manually, but is also invoked by
`dpkg-buildpackage' or `debian/rules' to set to set environment or
make variables which specify the build and host architecture for the
package building process.
but "to set to set" should be collapsed in a "to set" only.
Regards,
Sandro
