- * move to 3-level version number -- still not sure why I shouldn't just
- go with a 2-level scheme, that needs more thought. For now,
- top-level version number probably won't change for a while, the
- second-level number means significant content changes, and the
- third-level change means corrections and minor improvements.
+ * Sec. "Maintainer changes": renamed to "Adopting a package" and moved
+ to Chapter "Moving, Removing, Renaming, Adopting, and Orphaning
+ Packages".
+ * Ch. "Non-Maintainer Uploads (NMUs) and Porters": new chapter
+ discussing NMUs and porters; Section "Interim Releases" integrated out
+ of existance
+ * of course the obligatory typo, grammar, and spelling corrections

+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 whil, 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'
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'
