Debian doc-base Manual
Chapter 4 - TODO List
The following items are listed, in approximate priority, as to-do items. Our
first priority is to define the core issues of the Slink (Debian 2.1) Debian
Documentation System, which will have status a Sub-Policy.
Policy: document the doc-base document registration file format
separately (or SUBDOC it) as a proposed Debian documentation system policy.
Discussion is underway at debian-doc@lists.debian.org;
Adam Di Carlo is in charge of this.
Policy: define a first-cut standard as the document heirarchy. Discussion is
underway at debian-doc@lists.debian.org;
Marcus Brinkmann is in charge of this.
Documentation update: show clean and minimal use of install-docs
from maintainer script.
It is extremely difficult to deal coherently with a misnamed control
file, or a mismatch between a control file and the document field. This hit me
in the transition between doc-base 0.4 to 0.5 (in 0.4 I had added,
in a file install-docs-man, a document id named install-doc-man). Something
needs to be done about that.
Determine a cleaner way to manage the various little files such as
.dhelp and doc-base status files. This also involves
behavior on remove or purge of the doc-base packges. I believe
derived files such as .dhelp will eventually go away, since
packages should understand the doc-base document registration
control file format directly.
Internationalization.
Automated format conversion, including user preferences.
