Harris Thu, 16 Jul 1998 00:52:35 -0400 developers-reference (2.4.1.2) frozen unstable; urgency=low * non-maintainer release * rebuilt since HTML versions of Chapters 1 and 2 were truncated (important bug, no number yet, bugs.debian.org isn't working; regardless, this should go in hamm because a broken developers reference won't win us many friends in hamm, and after all, it's just text, it can't hurt you.) * no content changes, except that the version number in the SGML file reflect this packages version number * debian/rule: clean is cleaner now -- Adam P. Harris Tue, 16 Jun 1998 01:35:39 -0400 developers-reference (2.4.1.1) frozen unstable; urgency=low * Orphaned package -- Christian Schwarz Thu, 14 May 1998 21:56:36 +0200 developers-reference (2.4.1.0) frozen unstable; urgency=low * New version numbering scheme: - The version numbers are independent of dpkg now, but all policy manuals (the Debian Policy Manual, the Debian Packaging Manual, and 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 -- Christian Schwarz Mon, 13 Apr 1998 17:54:43 +0200 developers-reference (0.5) unstable; urgency=low * Changes to the Developer's Reference: - Changed section 1.2 Registering as a Debian developer: + signatures from formal certification service are _NOT_ accepted anymore + images of ID documents have to be PGP or RSA signed (as requested by James Troup) - Use current date instead of in manual * Updated FSF's address (reported by Lintian) -- Christian Schwarz Sat, 7 Mar 1998 13:52:15 +0100 developers-reference (0.4) unstable; urgency=low * Changes to the Developer's Reference: - Renamed chapter 4 into `Package uploads' - New section 4.2.5 Uploading to the non-us server - Changed section 4.4 Interim releases: + non-maintainer releases should not close bugs + normal maintainer must at least read the patch provided with the non-maintainer release - New chapter 5 Handling bug reports: + when reporting more then 10 bugs on the same topic, a message has to be sent to debian-devel and the `maintonly' address should be used - Lots of typos fixed * Compressed SGML source code * Added support for doc-base to register the Developer's Reference to the online documentation systems dwww and dhelp * Upgraded to standards version 2.4.0.0 (no changes) -- Christian Schwarz Fri, 30 Jan 1998 21:58:34 +0100 developers-reference (0.3) unstable; urgency=low * Put lost sections from Policy Manual 2.1.3.3 back in: - Generating the changes file (for uploads) - Announcing package uploads * New section about Debian Mentors * debian/rules: Don't use debstd anymore * debian/rules: Compress changelog file (fixes:#15441) * Fixed link to WNPP list (fixes:#16201) * Added menu entry (fixes:#15708) -- Christian Schwarz Wed, 24 Dec 1997 13:54:33 +0100 developers-reference (0.2) unstable; urgency=low * New chapter about `The Debian Archive' describing the structure of our FTP server and the development process * Added note that new maintainers have to read the Social Contract and have to know where to find the Policy and Packaging Manuals * PGP key ring is not distributed via dpkg but in doc/ of the FTP server * Added note that cross posting between Debian lists is depreciated * New list of advantages why new packages should be discussed on debian-devel before they are uploaded * Added section about how packages are uploaded * Added note that the Security Managers may do interim releases without contacting the maintainer * Removed chapter about bug tracking system (will be included in a new manual released soon) * Some minor changes * Include SGML source in package * Don't use `2-up' style for PostScript version * Upgraded to Standards 2.3.0.1 -- Christian Schwarz Sun, 2 Nov 1997 20:53:26 +0100 developers-reference (0.1) unstable; urgency=low * Initial Release. -- Christian Schwarz Tue, 8 Jul 1997 00:19:49 +0200 Local variables: mode: debian-changelog mode: auto-fill End:
