Bug#268418: PTS: Please make latest news pages have static URLs
Quoting Jeroen van Wolffelaar:
> The latest news feature on the PTS has details as
> http://packages.qa.debian.org/s/spamassassin/news/2.html etc.
>
> However, on a new news item, all news will shift one place, and the most
> recent one will be called '1.html'. This makes linking to items quite
> impossible, you think you're linking somewhere, but it changes
> afterwards.
>
> It might be better to reverse the numbering, oldest item being 1, so
> that the URL's remain constant.
The PTS only stores the 30 last news. So an URL will never last for ever.
The actual system hat its own advantages, you can easily check the very
last changes...
The ideal solution would be to provide link to debian-devel-changes list
archive when possible, but I don't see an easy way to do that.
Again, I'm not going to do that change. I might reconsider the question if
I have a working patch.
Cheers,
