1 developers-reference (2.4.1.2) frozen unstable; urgency=low
3 * non-maintainer release
4 * rebuilt since HTML versions of Chapters 1 and 2 were truncated
5 (important bug, no number yet, bugs.debian.org isn't working;
6 regardless, this should go in hamm because a broken developers
7 reference won't win us many friends in hamm, and after all, it's just
8 text, it can't hurt you.)
9 * no content changes, except that the version number in the SGML file
10 reflect this packages version number
11 * debian/rule: clean is cleaner now

21 developers-reference (2.4.1.0) frozen unstable; urgency=low
23 * New version numbering scheme:
25 - The version numbers are independent of dpkg now, but all policy
26 manuals (the Debian Policy Manual, the Debian Packaging Manual, and
27 the Debian Developer's Reference) share the same version numbering
30 - The first three digits of the version number specify the
31 `Standards-Version.' This number is incremented with each policy
32 change. The fourth digit represents the `patch-level,' which may
33 differ between the manuals.
35 If only the patch-level digit is incremented, no changes in policy
36 have been made, except bug fixes and clarifications. Packages only
37 have to specify the first three digits of the version number in the
38 `Standards-Version' field of their source packages.
40 * Uploaded to frozen and unstable. This is a documentation-only
41 package and the changes to the manual are relevant for hamm.
43 * No changes to the Developer's Reference
