It is a work-in-progress and is subject to change. Comments and revisions are welcome. +Although some sections have yet to be written, this specification is already +implemented by package building tools and over 100 source packages since 2012. +Any changes made to written sections will maintain compatibility with the +existing format and implementations. + +Occasionally, new optional elements of the format are added and existing +limitations are relaxed. Such changes are made in tandem with corresponding +support being added to package building tools. Source packages that make use of +such new elements and relaxed limitations are responsible for ensuring that +package building tools are new enough to support them, by listing such tools and +minimum required versions in the `Build-Depends` control field (see +$[sectlink][fields-src]). Refer to the release notes of package building tools +to identify the versions in which support is added for changes to this Source +Package Format. + Legal Notice ============ -Copyright © 2012 Patrick "P.
