debian-faq (10.1) unstable; urgency=medium

  * Team upload.
  * Disable BYHAND processing to allow migration to testing.
    The package needs a binary upload for BYHAND processing,
    but this disables the migration to testing, because
    a source-only upload is required. Therefore, this is
    an upload with only the BYHAND rules removed, no other
    changes have been made. The content is therefore
    identical to the documents available from the archive
    mirrors.

debian-faq (4.0) unstable; urgency=low

  * The Debian FAQ is now maintained using SVN (no longer using CVS.)
  [ Changes by Joost van Baal ]
  * The Debian FAQ's debian/ packaging stuff is now maintained using a
    revision control system: SVN on Alioth.
    - debian/control:  Add Vcs-* headers.
  * This package no longer is called doc-debian, but debian-faq; it contains
    the Debian GNU/Linux FAQ only.  See doc-debian's debian/changelog for
    the history of the Debian GNU/Linux FAQ. (Closes: #473998)
    - debian/rules: remove stuff referring to constitution or social-contract.
    - debian/{prerm,postinst}: remove stuff referring to reporting-bugs,
      manifesto, mailing-lists or social-contract.
    - debian/control: package is now called debian-faq, not doc-debian.  Rewrote
      package description.  Add Conflicts: doc-debian <= 3.1.5.
    - debian/copyright: remove license conditions of non-FAQ documents.
  * debian/control: add Homepage header.
  * debian/control: add myself to Uploaders, after ack from jfs.
  * debian/rules: faq no longer is in FAQ/, but in .: adjust build rules.
  * debian/doc-base: imported from doc-debian-3.1.5/doc-base/debian-faq.
    updated list of authors.
  * debian/control: Bump Standards-Version from 3.6.2.0 to 3.7.3 (no changes
    needed.)
  * Create new binary Debian packages debian-faq-de, debian-faq-fr,
    debian-faq-it, debian-faq-zh-cn for translations which are somewhat up to
    date and not yet available as Debian packages.  Use debhelper's dh_install
    to deal with these multiple packages: we now build-depend upon debhelper.
    When at it, use dh_installdeb, dh_gencontrol, dh_md5sums and dh_builddeb
    too.
    - debian/{rules,control}: install de, fr, it and zh_CN translations too.
    - debian/compat: enforce debhelper compatibility level 5.
    - debian/rules: build needed languages (de, fr, it and zh_CN) only.
    - debian/debian-faq-{de,fr,it,zh-cn}.{dirs,install}: add debhelper files
      for building extra binary packages.
    - debian/rules: use debhelper's dh_installchangelog, dh_installdocs and
      dh_compress to handle debian/{copyright,changelog} and doc-base stuff.
      add needed dh_clean calls.
    - debian/rules: replace handcrafted chmod/chown call with dh_fixperms.
    - debian/debian-faq*.doc-base, debian/debian-faq*.{prerm,postrm}: add
      doc-base registrations for all packages, let debhelper deal with them.
  * Update the content of the FAQ files to their latest SVN
    versions, from svn.debian.org ddp/manuals/trunk/debian-faq:
     - changes by joostvb, 2008-04-03

        * pkgtools.sgml: update comment
        * pkg_basics.sgml: the X Window System no long is called X11, but

        * customizing.sgml: Apply patch contributed by Peter Moulder in
          Message-Id: <20080118235154.GA32134@mail.internode.on.net>,

        * ftparchives.sgml: remove comments about woody and older stuff
        * ftparchives.sgml: add . for closing sentence; s/freeware/free
          software/
        * ftparchives.sgml: the fact that distributions are directories is
          an implementation detail: move it somewhat more under the carpet

          know these prehistoric ones

          mention these
        * software.sgml: Add some more questions on non-free software
          commonly found on GNU/Linux systems: Flash (Don't mention
          Macromedia/Adobe's non-free player); VoIP (don't mention non-free
          Skype); mention ndiswrapper; mention Google Earth (or is that not
          suitable for this faq?)

          that djb is placing his software into the public domain.
        * getting.sgml: Mention new installation methods: USB, TFTP etc.
        * getting.sgml: remove broken link

          are there CD images available somewhere?" duplicates "Where/how can
          I get the Debian installation disks?".  Removed it.
        * getting.sgml: we do DVDs too, not just CDs
        * getting.sgml: Given the current size of Debian, installing from
          floppy is next to impossible. Therefore, remove section "Can I
          install it from a pile of floppy disks?"
        * getting.sgml: http://www.debian.org/CD is more up to date on
          getting CD images than this faq: add referral
        * pkg_basics.sgml: Mention wrapper tools for building .deb from
          source package. Thanks Tim Richardson for his suggestion in
          <1203086175.11942.24.camel@d420>.
        * ftparchives.sgml: move question about low-level implementation
          details to end of chapter
        * uptodate.sgml: dselect built in access methods (like dpkg-ftp)
          are obsolete: remove section
        * software.sgml: non-us is obsolete since sarge: remove section
        * getting.sgml: dselect's build-in access methods are obsolete. Do
          not talk about low level cd image details like Rock Ridge
          extensions: that's not suitable for newbies.
        * pkgtools.sgml: fix bug in description of "apt-get dist-upgrade".
          explain difference with "apt-get upgrade"
     - changes by joostvb, 2007-09-21
        * pkg_basics.sgml: Files containing Debian packages typically have
          a component representing the Debian architecture in their name.
          Thanks Justin Pryzby. (Closes: #443472)
     - changes by joostvb, 2007-07-11
        * basic_defs.sgml: Michael K. Johnson's INFO-SHEET and META-FAQ have
          been unmaintained for a very long time. Refer to Linux Online instead.
        * basic_defs.sgml: We don't release every several months, but at
          about every 2 years (checked potato - woody - sarge - etch ( - lenny)
          release dates).  FTP archives are update twice, not once a day.
        * basic_defs.sgml: when asked what debian is, first tell about the
          nice things. explain the boring stuff like what a distribution is
          later: swapped 2 sections
        * support.sgml: remove notes about sections of manpages: too much
          techical detail for intented audience. give example "man ls"
          instead and refer to man(1)
        * support.sgml: mention yelp too, as an alternative for dwww,
          doc-central e.a.

          #315861
        * redist.sgml: Corel Linux and Storm Linux are (almost) gone;
          better mention Progeny Debian, Linspire, Knoppix and Ubuntu.
          Mention CDD when talking about Debian-derived distributions.  (I
          guess the note on "Linux for Hams" should probably either get

        * basic_defs.sgml: link to relevant other faq entry
        * basic_defs.sgml, faqstatic.ent: do not hardcode statistics but
          use faqstatic.ent.
        * basic_defs.sgml: More reasons to choose Debian: DFSG, Social
          Contract, # packages, # architectures. Gentoo exists, Debian is
          no longer "the only Linux distribution that is being developed
          cooperatively by many individuals through the Internet".
