1211	Fix changelog wording for Vcs-Git fix Fix changelog wording for Vcs-Git fix	Russ Allbery		2 years 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		2 years ago
1209	Add changelog for stanza to paragraph fix Add changelog for stanza to paragraph fix	Russ Allbery		2 years 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		2 years ago

1205	Add changelog for Files example reformatting Add changelog for Files example reformatting	Russ Allbery		2 years ago
1204	copyright-format: Wrap and sort -sat Files field copyright-format: Wrap and sort -sat Files field Do not place entries on the first line with the field name, and place one item per line, so that adding or removing entries generates as minimal a diff as possible, and avoids modifying unrelated lines. Use a single space so that the indentation is always uniform among all fields.	Guillem Jover		2 years ago

1202	Add changelog for OpenPGP change Add changelog for OpenPGP change	Russ Allbery		2 years ago
1201	Use OpenPGP instead of PGP Use OpenPGP instead of PGP The standard is called OpenPGP, PGP instead is a specific implementation. And while depending on the context (such as filename extensions) using .pgp is better and more neutral than using some other implementation specific extension (such as .gpg), in this context the text refers to the generic OpenPGP signatures.

1200	Improve changelog for Guillem's changes Improve changelog for Guillem's changes Also include closes for the bugs.	Russ Allbery		2 years ago
1199	Add changelog for Guillem's copyright-format cleanups Add changelog for Guillem's copyright-format cleanups	Russ Allbery		2 years ago
1198	copyright-format: Split the comment about license location i... copyright-format: Split the comment about license location into its own field The reference of the GPL about its location on the filesystem is not part of the GPL notice on the source, so it's confusing to mix this in the same License field. Instead move it into its own Comment field, as additional information.	Guillem Jover		2 years ago
1197	copyright-format: Use the URL format instead of the postal c... copyright-format: Use the URL format instead of the postal code for the GPL While the GPL-2 recommends using a postal address in the notice to include in source files, this has already changed once, and the GPL-3 already uses this new more future-proof format where the license is referenced via an URL on the web.	Guillem Jover		2 years ago
1196	copyright-format: Pack license formatting to match GPL upstr... copyright-format: Pack license formatting to match GPL upstream The example GPL notice is rather more compact and uses more horizontal space and thus reduces vertical space. Use the same line wrapping to achieve the same effect and make it more uniform and compact.	Guillem Jover		2 years ago
