Package: doc-debian Version: 3.1.3 Severity: wishlist Tags: patch The versions of various files in http://ftp.debian.org/debian/doc/ are grossly out of date, as documented at bug 262425.
The ftpmasters would like these files to be generated from a package as BYHAND files. This is the logical package from which to do so, as it contains the up-to-date version of nearly all of them (the exception is the dedication-2.2.* files), and it already has BYHAND processing. This (tested) patch adjusts debian/rules to ship this Pile O Stuff in its BYHAND area. It also causes the old versions of the constitution and social contract to be shipped for http://ftp.debian.org/debian/doc/, which I think is probably the correct thing to do. Alternatively, you might request that some of those documents simply be removed from ftp.debian.org/debian/doc/ if you think they don't belong there. It is also possible that some of these documents are already being produced as BYHAND documents by other packages, but if so I know nothing about it! --- rules 2006-03-14 09:22:55.000000000 -0500 +++ rules.new 2007-01-07 07:28:00.000000000 -0500 @@ -64,5 +64,11 @@ dpkg-distaddfile debian-faq.en.txt.gz byhand - dpkg-distaddfile debian-faq.en.ps.gz byhand - dpkg-distaddfile debian-faq.en.pdf.gz byhand - + cp $(docdir)/debian-manifesto ../ + dpkg-distaddfile debian-manifesto byhand - + for txtfile in `cd $(docdir) && ls *.txt`; do \ + cp $(docdir)/$$txtfile ../ ; \ + dpkg-distaddfile $$txtfile byhand - ; \ + done .PHONY: build clean binary binary-arch binary-indep -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
