Hello

In the TODO "frame" of PTS you tell to the maintainer to upgrade there
package from policy version to version + n. Instead of pointing directly
to the debian policy, could you link to another page with this debian
policy + the relevant policy check list for upgrading the package.

so it would be easier for maintainers to know what to do for the
policy upgrade of the package.

Thanks

Frederic

Hi,

I don't think that there's a web variant of "upgrading-checklist.gz"
contained in the Debian policy.

If the Debian policy team accept maintaing such a web page (or if some
mechanism auto-update such a page in the web site), then we can probably
do that. Otherwise I'm not really in favor of this, such a a page
shouldn't be maintained by the PTS itself.

Cheers,

There is an HTML version of upgrading-checklist in the debian-policy
package source.  It's not currently shipped in the package, but we could
add it easily enough.  I'm not sure that it's any more useful than the
text version, though.  It's almost entirely a <pre> block.

The interesting part of the htlm version would be the link to the
debian policy sections at the end of each task of the checklist.

So it would be nice in the PTS to point to that checklist upgrade which
refer to the debian policy.

What do you think ?

I agree that it would be nice, but currently we don't maintain such a list
in HTML with links to Debian Policy sections and doing so is somewhat
annoying right now.  I'm not sure that I'm willing to commit to doing
that, although I certainly agree that it would be nice to have.

The links should really be generated automatically somehow (and the
section numbers should be automatically resolved), but this is not at all
easy to do at the moment.

What about using asciidoc + a special macro to generate automatically thoses links ?

Feel free to volunteer for the task! Russ will gladly accept a patch for
it I guess. We always welcome help. :-)

I have just check the source of the debian policy and it will not be easy...
Indeed the sections (ex 4.1) in all html files generated from the docbook files are not
numbered with ... numbers (aka 4.1) but are named the human way...
It would have be easier to generate files like this
policy.html/{number}.{section}.html or even better all in one file policy.html with named references.

But I know nothing about docbook so I can not help reformating all the policy.
See you

Indeed, this is exactly why it's hard.  (Plus, it's DebianDoc-SGML, not
DocBook.)
