Bug#444270: debian-policy: policy doesn't say anything on ~ in Version numbers

2007-09-27 Thread Gerfried Fuchs
Package: debian-policy
Version: 3.7.2.2
Severity: normal

Hi!

 It would be kind if in section 5.6.12. `Version' the usage of ~ could
be noted, at least saying that it is an allowed character, too.
Currently every package with a ~ in its version (either upstream or
debian part of it) is violating the policy in that respect.

 So long,
Rhonda

I was hoping I had sufficiently advertised the proposal and the changes
so that it would have reached you sooner.

  ones.  For example, WindowManagers = Window Managers, Modules =
  FVWM Module (which is incorrect; the correct way to address the wm
  is Fvwm). 

In that case, please report a bug to debian-policy requesting the
change. This is a trivial matter to fix.

 But this means that people  who use Debian menus in fvwm have
  now got to change their .fvwm/.fvwmrc files; and use the new names.
  For example, 
 + WindowManagers Popup /Debian/WindowManagers
 + FVWM Modules Popup /Debian/Modules
  nust become.
 + FVWM Modules Popup /Debian/FVWM_Modules
 + Window Managers Popup /Debian/Window_Managers
 
 So, with the new menu policy, Fvwm users have to edit their
  configuration files.  Are there any plans for preserving backwards
  compatibility, or at least a transition plan?

I would say it is a job for the menu-method, not for menu itself.
Does FVWM allow to define aliases to menu section, or something similar?
You could define WindowManagers as an alias for Window Managers,
etc.
