Subject: www.debian.org: Package search results have no pointers to newer versions
To: submit@bugs.debian.org
X-Mailer: bug 3.2.9
Package: www.debian.org
Version: 20000306
Severity: wishlist
Searching for e.g. lftp with the default options turns up the latest
"stable" release, which in the case of lftp is from 1998 and one major
version number ago. A new release is in "frozen" but there is no way
to find out unless you happen to visit the ChangeLog or search again
with non-default options.
Could the search results (the main page for the package) contain
pointers to the newest "unstable" and "frozen" versions of the same
packages, and vice versa, when such packages exist? This would
eliminate one of my major frustrations with the packaging system.
I might have issued an earlier bug report with a similar request. The
idea to include forward pointers to newer versions from the latest
"stable" version's information page is new, though.
Thanks.

Hi,
The package pages have a link to the search page for them now.
Thanks for reporting.
