Package: qa.debian.org
Severity: wishlist
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.

Hi self,
Fixed, by using full date&time in the filename. Pages are
updated when they get new news (for the impatient, see lintian for a
manually converted example), currently also re-doing all packages, but
this takes quite a while (about 3 days).
