Hi Mehdi, By accident I scrolled down and saw this mail, which unfortunately nobody replied to.

I think it's a better idea to link to UbuntuDiff indeed, and hope that someone with the necessary power reads this and does it, but… I noticed that in part it's a bit outdated. I picked a random package that has been modified in Precise to see if the data was up-to-date. This is the URL I used http://ubuntudiff.debian.net/?query=python-defaults Some of the links (Diff from Ubuntu) are correct, so clearly it knows about the new versions somehow, but in other places (and most prominently the changelog displayed up-front), data from Maverick (Ubuntu 10.10) is displayed. I suspect this is a simple fix if you know the code. There's a tool written by Benjamin Drung (bdrung) called distro-info which, if backported (I just pinged him to do this) and kept updated, you could use to get the latest dev release. ubuntu-distro-info --devel --codename Cheers, -- Iain Lane [ iain@orangesquash.org.uk ] Debian Developer [ laney@debian.org ] Ubuntu Developer [ laney@ubuntu.com ] PhD student [ ial@cs.nott.ac.uk ]
