Hello everybody,
how about briefly summarising in DEP 8 the core concept of autopkgtest and the
parts of the specification that are very unlikely to change, like canonical
locations such as debian/tests, etc. To me also, the fact that there are
independant implementations shows that the idea behind DEP 8 has been accepted,
and it would be nice to reflect that fact on the DEP website. Of course,
this should not at all preclude current and future evolutions.
PS: for dep.debian.net, I am stuck with the fact that there does not seem to be
an appropriate place for whole-DD-writable ikiwiki websites in Debian, and I
lack time to do anything better than a static HTML dump in wiki.debian.org. A
quick search returns converters from moin to markdown, but I could not find the
converse.
(please follow that part of the discussion on dep-plumbing@lists.alioth.debian.org)
Have a nice day,
