Bug#981935: lintian: warn about packages using Rubygems pages in the Homepage field



Package: lintian
Version: 2.104.0
Severity: wishlist

Please warn about packages using Rubygems pages in the Homepage field.

Rubygems is a packaging system just as Debian is a packaging system and
each Rubygems package has a Homepage link that points at the upstream
homepage. Debian packages should point at the upstream homepage rather
than the page for other packaging systems like Rubygems.

There are several forms of Homepages that are used, both are URLs like
this, with/without the trailing slash and with/without https:

https://rubygems.org/gems/<name>/

This URL is a false positive and is the correct Homepage for the Debian
rubygems package manager itself.

https://rubygems.org/

According to the Debian Code Search service 21 packages are affected:

https://codesearch.debian.net/search?literal=0&q=path%3Adebian%2Fcontrol+Homepage%3A.%2Arubygem&page=0

bye,
