• Debian Policy 4.6.0.0 released

    From Sean Whitton@21:1/5 to All on Wed Aug 18 05:40:02 2021
    Hello everyone,

    I just pushed version 4.6.0.0 of the Debian Policy Manual and related
    documents to sid. Below you will find the significant normative changes
    from the previously announced release of Policy (4.5.1).

    The formal upgrading checklist is short, but also included in this
    release is important work by Russ Allbery to improve how we use Policy's explicitly normative terms -- 'must', 'should', 'recommended', etc.
    These keywords are now used more consistently. We have also introduced
    a new category of statements which we are calling "Policy advice". The addition of this category should make it easier to incorporate
    descriptions of more of our best practices into Policy. Please see 1.1.

    There are also a number of miscellaneous corrections. Thank you to
    those who submitted bug reports and patches.

    =*=*=*=

    9.1.1
    No package is allowed to install files in ``/usr/lib64/``. Previously,
    this prohibition only applied to packages for 64-bit architectures.

    12.1
    Manual pages may be included in dependencies, not only in the packages
    containing the things they document.
