Hi all,
I just realized that for most if not all of our Forge packages, the URL
in the Homepage field of debian/control is no longer valid.
Apparently it is because a trailing slash is now required. For example,
currently for octave-optim we have…
Homepage: http://octave.sourceforge.net/optim
…which no longer works (404 error).
However, it works if one adds a trailing slash (http://octave.sourcefor
ge.io/optim/). By the way, one is automatically redirected to a secure
URL.
I am not familiar enough with the Forge website, so I don't know if
this should be considered as a bug to be fixed on that side, or if we
should update all our packages. Any opinion by people more familiar
with the topic?
