This allows for + future removal of the 1.0 default for the package source format and, + depending on the source format, may allow unambiguous declaration of + whether this package is native or non-native. + . + If you don't have a reason to stay with the old format for this package, + please consider switching to "3.0 (quilt)" (for packages with a separate + upstream tarball) or to "3.0 (native)" (for Debian native packages). + . + If you wish to keep using the old format, please create that file and put + "1.0" in it to be explicit about the source package version. If you have + problems with the 3.0 format, the dpkg maintainers are interested in + hearing, at debian-dpkg@lists.debian.org, the (technical) reasons why the + new formats do not suit you. +See-Also: dpkg-source(1), https://wiki.debian.org/Projects/DebSrc3.0 |
