www.debian.org: wrong links in http://www.debian.org/Bugs/
--text follows this line--
Package: www.debian.org
Severity: normal
Hello everybody,
in the web page http://www.debian.org/Bugs/
i.e. in the (source?) file http://www.debian.org/Bugs/index.en.html
the list that explains how to make a query by visiting URLs of the following
forms is out of date. Here follows the old code:
--------html--------OLDER code---------------
<ul>
<li><tt>http://bugs.debian.org/<var>number</var></tt>
<li><tt>http://bugs.debian.org/mbox:<var>number</var></tt>
<li><tt>http://bugs.debian.org/<var>package</var></tt>
<li><tt>http://bugs.debian.org/src:<var>sourcepackage</var></tt>
<li><tt>http://bugs.debian.org/<var>maintainer@email.address</var></tt>
<li><tt>http://bugs.debian.org/from:<var>submitter@email.address</var></tt>
<li><tt>http://bugs.debian.org/severity:<var>severity</var></tt>
<li><tt>http://bugs.debian.org/tag:<var>tag</var></tt>
</ul>
-----------/html---------------
The code above shall[1] be substituted by a code like that:
-----html----
<ul>
<li><tt>http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=<var>number</var></tt>
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-----html----
.....
and so on.
I have just provided a patch to solve this issue, please, find it attached.
[1] Shall?
Actually I think that the code I wrote -albeit correct- is
*very _UN_helpful* for the people.
It is very long, not so intuitive as the older code.
May I suggest you to remove such list from the web page?
If you think that the list still makes sense, you can simply
apply the patch.
TIA
Giovanni
