Thanks for your work on keeping the Homepage field up-to-date following
the move to Octave Packages.
If you have the time, please also update the Source field in
debian/copyright, which is usually the same as the Homepage URL.
What would be better: the Source field in d/copyright reflecting the
Homepage field in d/control or the Repository (or Repository-Browse)
field in d/u/metadata?
According to machine-readable copyright specification¹ and to Debian
policy², this field must contain the location where “upstream source
came from”
Since we use tarballs and that those are usually downloadable from the
Homepage, I tend to think that the Homepage is a better choice, and it
is the choice we’ve made so far. But arguably the git repository could
also be an option.
