My impression is that discussion on this bug has wound down, and that it's unlikely that any new information is going to come up. To me, that implies that we should call for a vote.
Based on Ian's last response, I think the ballot has two options plus further discussion, since I'm quite sure that we're not going to outlaw dh: A. debian/rules is not required to be a makefile, only to implement the same interface as a debian/rules file implemented as a makefile (including handling of arguments and exit status). Debian Policy should be updated to change the requirement to a recommendation, and new versions of the leave package should be permitted to be uploaded to the archive without changing debian/rules to be a makefile. B. The Technical Committee affirms the Debian Policy requirement that debian/rules must be a makefile. All packages in the archive, including leave, are required to follow this requirement. This makefile may, as is common practice, delegate implementation of its targets to a script. C. Further discussion. Are there any corrections or modifications to that ballot? Anything I'm missing? If there are no objections, I'll call for a vote on this ballot in a few days. -- Russ Allbery (r...@debian.org) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-rc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
