From Revision 1225 to 1206

Rev	Summary	Authors	Tags	Date
1225	Update Installed-Size algorithm used by dpkg since 1.18.0 Update Installed-Size algorithm used by dpkg since 1.18.0 The previous algorithm relied entirely on du(1) computing the used size, but depended on the filesystem in use on the build system. The new algorithm used by dpkg since 1.18.0 (implemented in commit 9ed7d4d47b73ffe67e1f7d31f899a1dfd43d490b), guarantees a constant and reproducible size regardless of the build system filesystem being used. Although it is still an approximation of the actual size that the package will use on the installed system.	Guillem Jover		26 days ago

1223	Use «package metadata» instead of «control information» Use «package metadata» instead of «control information» Using «control information» when talking about control files and control formats, and similar gets confusing fast. Switch to package metadata, as some of the files in the deb(5) archive control member are not usually in deb822(5) format.	Guillem Jover		2 months ago

1221	Clarify terminology for Debian control files Clarify terminology for Debian control files Their current descriptive names are very close and easily confused if one is not paying close attention. Use new terminology that try to make them less ambiguous and intuitive. The new and unified terms are: * debian/control: «Debian source package template control file» * .dsc: «Debian source package control file» * DEBIAN/control: «Debian binary package control file» * .changes: «Debian upload changes control file» For contents we use these new terms: First stanza in debian/control: «source package stanza» Next stanzas in debian/control: «binary package stanza»	Guillem Jover		2 months ago

1210	Avoid confusing use of stanza Avoid confusing use of stanza Prefer "portion" to "stanza" when describing parts of the Vcs-Git header to avoid confusion with blocks of fields in deb822. Thanks to Charles Plessy for pointing out the consistency.	Russ Allbery		1 year ago
1209	Add changelog for stanza to paragraph fix Add changelog for stanza to paragraph fix	Russ Allbery		1 year ago
1208	Use stanza to refer to deb822 parts instead of paragraph Use stanza to refer to deb822 parts instead of paragraph The «stanza» name is a commonly used and understood term when referring to deb822 blocks. Although «paragraph» is commonly used it has the problem of being confusing as it then makes it hard to distinguish actual text paragraphs in prose, while «stanza» is a very specific term that is not applied anywhere else in the deb822 context, so it's always more clear and specific. In addition «stanza» is shorter, which is always a nice attribute on code for example. The references in dpkg documentation and code, will be updated shortly, so that there is uniform nomenclature used. Fixes: #1020248	Guillem Jover		1 year ago

1206	Add English description of bug closer regex Add English description of bug closer regex Alongside the Perl-compatible regular expression matching bug closers, add an English description of the format.	Daniel Shahaf		1 year ago
