As discussed on debian-devel@l.d.o dpkg is ready for the new Homepage: field in the source stanza of debian/control. dam and rmayorga and me have been discussing the idea of a "mass fix" for all packages in the repository, i.e. removing the pseudo-field from the Description (only a few packages) and adding the new field. I've hacked up a small and ugly (shell) script for that purpose, and it seems that it does it's job not too bad; the new field is constructed from http://search.cpan.org/dist/ + module name from Makefile.PL). Before I let it run over trunk: * Are there any general objections against using the new field? * Could someone take a look at the script (in our repo at scripts/qa/homepagecheck)? Any improvements/re-writes welcome! * Is the approach for constructing the URL sane? Any other thoughts?
