Package: debian-policy Severity: wishlist Dear all,
as discussed on debian-devel@l.d.o, it may be useful to clarify that trailing slashes in directory names in Files fields are invalid. Only a few copyright files were using trailing slashes at the beginning of this month. (See http://lists.debian.org/20120905000419.ga1...@falafel.plessy.net) The clarification could be the addition of a sentence in the paragraph mentionning fnmatch(3), for instance the following. This syntax does not distinguish file names from directory names; trailing slashes after directory names are invalid. In any case, I think that such a change can wait for the next revision of the format. Have a nice week-end, -- Charles -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org
