DEP material is supposed to be incorporated into other documents where appropriate, rather than being maintained as a DEP.

We might want to talk to debian-www about possible alternatives at some point (packaging-manuals is really long), but I think that's basically the right idea. Format: http://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/copyright-format/1.0/ would fit easily in 80 columns, and I think we can probably generate the right directory structure for that. Something like: Format: http://www.debian.org/doc/standards/copyright-format/1.0/ would be even shorter, of course, but I don't know if it's worth the disruption. -- Russ Allbery ([email protected]) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
