I want to clarify: the issue with DEP5 in policy was that the DEP5 authors were aiming at immediate publication of the spec as it was, but as soon as it was merged in policy a number of bug reports about typographical errors and clarification enquiries were reported that the original authors did not have time or interest in addressing prior to the publication. Thus this caused a situation where valid bugs against the debian-policy package could not be processed. I would like to avoid this with DEP8. As for the format, I would prefer Russ to answer, but I would favor to stick with DocBook or debiandoc-sgml rather than introducing yet another markup system. If you send patches for DEP8, I will apply them. Cheers, -- Bill. <[email protected]> Imagine a large red swirl here. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
