• Bug#786470: debian-policy: [copyright-format] Add an optional =?UTF-8?Q

    From Sean Whitton@21:1/5 to All on Sun Aug 20 22:20:01 2017

    Thank you for the new patch, Ben.

    Comments:

    - please move the License-Grant field to the end of the list of fields
    to avoid any renumbering

    - please strip the rewordings that you've made to other parts of the
    document, so this patch addresses this bug alone.

    If you want to make those changes, please file separate 'informative'
    bugs against debian-policy; these do not need to be seconded and are
    applied at the discretion of the policy editors.

    - I think you've used too many spaces to indent the License-Grant text
    in the examples. Shouldn't it be just one space?

    - since the field is optional, I don't think we should modify every
    example to include License-Grant. Perhaps consider reducing the
    number of times you add it?

    - note that this bug doesn't apply to policy's HEAD anymore because
    we've switched to rST; it would be nice if you could rebase but I will
    happily do this on your behalf as I was partly responsible for the
    switch

    Did you find a conflict? I have pulled the latest HEAD (commit hash f0f316c879a7e60e), and the ‘./copyright-format-1.0.xml’ remains the
    only source document of the “Machine-readable debian/copyright file” specification.

    The file doesn't appear to have changed enough to cause any conflict;
    the changes in this patch still apply fine to current HEAD, in my
    tests.

    Perhaps you still have a branch that converts that document to reST?

    Sorry, I forgot that we haven't actually converted that file.
