Package: tracker.debian.org
Severity: normal
Tags: newcomer
The code search form uses the old PTS codesearch.cgi script. The old PTS
will be deleted at some point so the distro-tracker should not rely on
it. The code for the old PTS codesearch script is available at [1] and
the reference to it is listed in [2]. The task would be to add a new
codesearch page that redirects to the correct codesearch URL. This
workaround is needed as codesearch does not yet accept the package name
as a separate query parameter. This looks like a fairly easy task for
someone new to the tracker who knows a bit of django.
