Changes:
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.

versions, from svn.debian.org ddp/manuals/trunk/debian-faq:
