Package: debian-policy Severity: wishlist Many programs in /usr/bin have GNU's _old_ address hardwired in: $ cd /usr/bin $ fgrep --files-with-matches '59 Temple Place' *|wc -l 179 $ fgrep --files-with-matches Temple *|wc -l 187 And that's just on my machine. $ fgrep --files-with-matches Mass *|wc -l 40 #An even older address, Mass Ave.
It must be because policy doesn't say anything about sticking copyright notices in the /usr/[s]bin/file, only about /usr/share/doc/<package>/copyright . Therefore policy should say not to put copyright notices in /usr/[s]bin/* or at least not office addresses that will get stale. Instead when one does $ some_program --view-copyright the output should say to see /usr/share/common-licenses/... -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
