• Debian Perl Group Policy document should be updated to suggests debhelp

    From Joenio Marques da Costa@21:1/5 to All on Fri Nov 6 15:10:01 2020
    Hi guys,

    I wondering if the Debian Perl Group Policy page (link below) must be
    updated to suggests debhelper-compat 13 instead of debhelper-compat 12
    as we have today.

    https://perl-team.pages.debian.net/policy.html

    Thanks,

    Good catch, thanks for noticing.

    Historically, we've been a bit conservative in recommending the
    minimum debhelper version, as new versions often didn't change
    anything for our packages. Recently, most of us and our tools started
    to use the new debhelper versions and compatibility levels, as they
    provided advantages.

    Anyway, I've changed 12 to 13 in the only place I found in
    policy.pod. If there's anything else to change, please just go ahead.


    Cheers,
    gregor

    This does make it harder to build the packages on buster as the clean
    target is also executed outside the chroot. While debhelper is
    backported, requiring it is not ideal.

    Kind Regards,
