    - proofread by Philippe Batailler
  * Raphaël Hertzog:
    - added "ddtp" keyword in the PTS documentation

    - shuffled stuff around in the packages chapter
    - added a section describing how to handle large amounts of
      architecture-independent data bundled with programs
    - added best practices on debian/changelog files, based on a patch
      kindly provided by Daniel Kobras, closes: #166388
    - described debdiff and dpkg-depcheck, and linked to them from the
      right places in the document, closes: #172897
    - describe the current practice in writing synopsis lines,
      closes: #174161
  * Adam Di Carlo:
    - update (c) year
    - convert to debhelper (compat mode 4); maintainer scripts no longer
      needed
    - split -ja and -fr versions out into separate packages
    - top-level makefile deletes targets on error; clean is cleaner
    - replace the manual debian/control processing to show the document's

      note that the TOC displayed in the developers-reference-{fr,ja}
      package descriptions are in English until UTF8 control files are

      debhelper

      policy list

      for best practices for documentation

      new Sec "Documentation and information", add entries there for
      debview, debiandoc-sgml, debian-keyring; we believe this manual now
      covers all of the established, general Debian maintainer tool
      packages
    - spell-checking pass

      and translators
    - eliminate the ByHand stuff, I'm pretty sure it's not needed now
      with the DDP builder process, or if it is needed, it's a probably
      that can be fixed by DDP folks
    - stop shipping SGML source -- use 'apt-get source developers-reference'
      after all, this is supposed to be a binary package, right?
    - simply PS and PDF building rules

      month regarding FTP archive waiting time since that\'s more often
      the case, and changed weeks to hours regarding Maintainers file
      updates since that\'s also more often the case now, updated some
      URLs to entities, s/debian-doc/doc-debian/
    - replaced evil latin1-only quotation marks, replaced mentions of
      important severity (in RCB context) with serious severity, some
      details fixed
    - common.ent (1.10): fixed email-debian-user alias; updated
      sample-dist-dirtree (with more to come)
    - described testing; described package pools (this particular part
      required quite a bit of changes, and it might be a bit rough, but
      it's a start); described the frozen test cycles et al; some other
      smaller fixes
    - another update WRT sid/unstable/testing, from Colin Watson

developers-reference (2.7.2) frozen unstable; urgency=medium

  * I believe this should go into frozen because (a) it's only
    documentation, so it can't introduce RC bugs, and (b) it fixes an
    error which prevented it from building properly; however, whatever
    ftpmaster feels is best is fine
  *
  * include common.ent as well as version.ent 
    (closes: Bug#52582, Bug#48926)
  * debian/rules: fix build error caused by newer debiandoc-sgml; remove

    at reverse depends, a good step to take prior to removing a package
    from the archive

developers-reference (2.5.0) frozen unstable; urgency=low

  * move to 3-level version number:
    top-level version number probably won't change for a while, it is the
    "major", the second-level number means significant content changes,
    and the third-level change means corrections and minor improvements.
    Since this version has significant content changes, we are now 2.5.0.
    Since I'm going to put porter instructions in the next major rev, that
    will be 2.6.0...

  * use new <package> tag where appropriate (Ardo, you rock)
  * replace 'm86k' with 'm68k'
  * rename 'Whirlwind Tour of ...' section to 'Overview of ...' (suggested 
    by James Troup)
  * typos and "red-pen" corrections, fix cosmetic problems in PostScript
    version
  * remove the one case I use an URL fragment identifier, since
    debiandoc-sgml doesn't like it (bug filed against debiandoc-sgml)
  * debian/rules: cosmetic cleanups, loosen check for root
  * debian/rules: build PostScript version during build, since it's nice
    to have all my debiandoc2* scripts together
  * debian/control: policy compliant to 2.5.0

  * advise against uploading when a package has lintian problems of
    severity 'E'
  * "Mailing Lists and Servers":
    - "The master server": mention how master is the home of the BTS;
      mention how users need to take care with their accounts on master
    - "The WWW servers": fill in www.debian.org, first pass, and discuss
      how to put up your own web pages on va or master
    - "The CVS server": new section added
    - "Mirrors of Debian servers": new section added; point to info about
       how to mirror
  * "Applying to Become a Maintainer": do not advise resending initial
    application; instead, simply mail a followup asking new maintainers
    whether they go the initial application (closes Bug #28739); mention
    that calls usually come in the evening; mention that if you use PGP
    v5, you need to generate an RSA key (right?); clarify our intentions
    with respect to GPG.
  * "Release code names": Debian 2.2 is 'potato'
  * "Distribution directories": give concrete examples, hopefully making
    it clearer where to look in Debian archives for specific stuff;
    mention that old distributions are moved to archive servers (is there
    a canonical location?)
  * "The override file": new section, added under "Notification that a new
    package has been installed"; fill it out quite a bit
  * "Uploading to *": reiterate thrice not to upload export
    controlled-software to master, or the European queues on erlangen and
    chiark
  * "Picking a distribution": section broken out from "Generating the
    changes file"
  * "Uploading to frozen": new section, almost straight from Brian White
    (hope you don't mind!) -- isn't that topical?
  * "Interim releases": if you NMU a new upstream version (0.1), run 
    'dpkg-buildpackage -sa'

    patched back to the new-maintainers group, if they care to use
    them. (closes Bug#26948)
  * Add an introductory "Scope" chapter which helps delineate what should
    and should not be included in this Reference.
  * Add a new chapter, "Whirlwind Tour of Debian Maintainer Tools".  Let
    me know what useful tools I forgot -- remember, Debian-specific
    maintainer tools only!
  * Add discussion of the "experimental" distribution, culled from an email
    from Guy Maor on debian-devel.
  * Incorporated suggestions from Branden Robinson (closes Bug#27211).

  * Made references to online documentation into URLs where possible.

  * in Section "Interim releases", talk about how non-maintainers should
    use the BTS, and bug severity "fixed" (closes Bug#17524)
  * in Section "Generating the changes file", talk about how to set the
    distribution in the debian/changelog file (i.e., "frozen unstable")
  * add a new Section "Checking the package prior to upload" to Section
    "Uploading a package", mentioning lintian and other tests one should
    do prior to uploading
  * add new Section "Notification that a new package has been installed"
    in Section "Uploading a package", talking about dinstall and the
    override file a bit
  * add new Sections "Moving packages", "Removing packages", "Replacing or
    renaming packages", and "Orphaning a package" (closes Bug#26650)
  * add new Section "Bugs in your packages", talking about maintainer
    duties with respect to bugs
  * add new Section "Lintian reports" under "Handling bugs reports",
    talking about how maintainers should check their packages with lintian 
    every now and then, alternatively pointing them to the lintian web
    pages
  * clarify, a bit, the use of "section" and "subsection", bringing it
    into line with the usage in the Policy Manual and Packaging Manual
  * grammar and markup changes throughout
  * debian/rules: added a crude source-depends rule, which renders more
    explicit what is used to build this package

      the Debian Developer's Reference) share the same version numbering
      scheme.
    
    - The first three digits of the version number specify the
      `Standards-Version.' This number is incremented with each policy
      change. The fourth digit represents the `patch-level,' which may
      differ between the manuals. 
  
      If only the patch-level digit is incremented, no changes in policy
      have been made, except bug fixes and clarifications. Packages only
      have to specify the first three digits of the version number in the
      `Standards-Version' field of their source packages.
  
  * Uploaded to frozen and unstable. This is a documentation-only
    package and the changes to the manual are relevant for hamm.

  * No changes to the Developer's Reference
