Hi Andrea, yes that's quite a mess. Please cf.: http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2011/09/msg00056.html http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2011/09/msg00334.html Currently, the discussion goes on towards the bugs #650737 (Debian Policy 3.9.2: Point format URL to www.debian.org) and #649813 (Lintian: Final URL for DEP5) I would assume that this could be lacking consensus among the developers how to treat this, but it seems it would be a good solution to just fill in the expected URL: http://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/copyright-format/1.0 (however, Lintian accepts this w/o final slash). What's the latest in this discussion? Cf. also "my" discussion here: http://lists.debian.org/debian-mentors/2011/12/msg00293.html http://lists.debian.org/debian-mentors/2011/12/msg00315.html Greetings, Daniel Stender -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
