Bug#658597: cl-contextl: Reported darcs url doesn't work.



Package: cl-contextl
Severity: minor
Hi,

When doing

  $ apt-get source cl-contextl

I get a helpful message:

  NOTICE: 'cl-contextl' packaging is maintained in the 'Darcs' version control system at:
  http://darcs.debian.org/darcs/pkg-common-lisp/cl-contextl

This is lovely, but then

  $ darcs get http://darcs.debian.org/darcs/pkg-common-lisp/cl-contextl

  darcs failed:  Not a repository: http://darcs.debian.org/darcs/pkg-common-lisp/cl-contextl (Failed to download URL http://darcs.debian.org/darcs/pkg-common-lisp/cl-contextl/_darcs/inventory: HTTP response code said error)

Very confusing! Of course, when you go to
http://darcs.debian.org/darcs/pkg-common-lisp/cl-contextl in a browser,
all becomes clear: there's a redirect to
http://anonscm.debian.org/darcs/pkg-common-lisp/cl-contextl.

I'm not sure whether darcs.debian.org should redirect the
_darcs/inventory url rather than give a 404 but, for this package, the
confusion can be removed by changing the Vcs-Darcs line in
debian/control to point at the new URL.

Thanks,

Rupert
