Differences between fields in debian/control and upstream-metadata
Hello,
i found some (well, 27) packages where the Homepage: entry in the
control file is different than the Homepage: entry in the
upstream-metadata file. (Althouh 27 is now much right now, i actually
expect this number to increase, as there surely will be more
upstream-metadata per package in the future. )
"Different" in this context means: I run lynx -dump URL for both URLs
and run a diff on both outputs. If there are differences, i just report
the number of lines, the diff outputs, giving a hint how strong both
websites differ. I know this is quite a hack, but seems to work..
My question is: Should this issues be addressed? And if so, who is
allowed to eventually fix wrong/misleading urls in either the control
file or the upstream-metadata file (which i would prefer to change).
Or is this worth a bug against these packages?
I'm fine with doing any of the things above, but don't want to step on
someones toes, so i ask first.
I see no point in having two different Homepage entries for the same
package, this only leads to confusion and piling up corrupted data.
Please see the attached file and give me some feedback.
Thanks,
Simon
