Package: developers-reference Version: 3.4.14 Tags: patch The way I read the IRC logs in Bug#685646, suffixes like +deb8u1 are the preferred version numbering scheme for any upload to stable, regardless of them being Non Maintainer Uploads or Maintainer Uploads.
The current text says "NMU" which is a little bit confusing. A simple way to fix this would be to simply use the "upload" word instead of NMU, as in the following patch: diff --git a/developers-reference-3.4.14/pkgs.dbk b/developers-reference-3.4.14/pkgs.dbk index 5a34b95..2daf418 100644 --- a/developers-reference-3.4.14/pkgs.dbk +++ b/developers-reference-3.4.14/pkgs.dbk @@ -2157,9 +2157,9 @@ this, a version of the form <literal>+deb<replaceable>X</replaceable>u<replaceable>Y</replaceable></literal> should be used, where <replaceable>X</replaceable> is the major release number, and <replaceable>Y</replaceable> is a counter starting at <literal>1</literal>. -For example, while Wheezy (Debian 7.0) is stable, a security NMU to stable for +For example, while Wheezy (Debian 7.0) is stable, a security upload to stable for a package at version <literal>1.5-3</literal> would have version -<literal>1.5-3+deb7u1</literal>, whereas a security NMU to Jessie would get +<literal>1.5-3+deb7u1</literal>, whereas a security upload to Jessie would get version <literal>1.5-3+deb8u1</literal>. </para> </section> Thanks. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
